easy jet

we are planning to go to barchlona using the easy jet. we havent used it before. How is it !! I am sure alot of you have used it. What are your feedbacks ? Or you think i have to use another airlines like air france.

It%26#39;s just a normal lowcost airline, either the biggest or second biggest in Europe.

You pay to get a seat on the plane but no drinks/food...

I used it to fly from London to Amsterdam. I had absolutely no problems. It was incredibly cheap airfare, plane left on time, etc.

Something to be mindful of though is the weight restrictions on luggage. Its not as bad as other low cost airlines though. I believe it is 20kg for checked luggage. And their carry-on size is really small. So I had to check in my backpack and I just carried on my purse-- no problems!

Just beware of checking baggage. If they do not get the baggage to you before you return home, you can expect no support from them.

easyJet let you carry-on the usual size bag (usually 22%26quot;x14%26quot;x9%26quot;, but check dimensions with their website to be sure!) without any weight restrictions recently. Or they say %26#39;within reason%26#39;. V.useful for those who travel light/just off for the weekend.

Do be *very* careful about the weight of checked luggage as already advised.

I find them fine. Turn up with plenty of time at the airport. Take some food and drink that suits you onto the plane. Pack light and you%26#39;ll have a bargain.

Following on from TahoeSue%26#39;s comment, they are a point-to-point airline. If you have to connect with another flight they will accept no responsibility if you miss a connecting flight for any reason. If you just going to Barcelona this shouldn%26#39;t be an issue.

I know TahoeSue has had a really bad time with missing luggage from another thread - so jusy carry-on would be a plus here too.

Thanks all for your replies. I didnt thought of the weight. Though its a big issue. I will be coming from london, staying in paris then going to spain. I am sure i will be having some more extra ....opppppppps and i wont be back to paris ,,i will be going to geneva ...what can i do !!!!! 20 kg is too little .

The good news is that EasyJet has no weight restriction on cabin baggage, only a size restriction. The bad news is that their excess baggage charge, at 6.50 Euros per kilo, can add up fast. So packing all your heaviest items in your carry-on would make sense...

Here is a link to their baggage regulations:

Good luck!

I%26#39;ve used Easyjet to Spain a bunch - it%26#39;s fine.... check Iberia also for low fares.... depending on when you leave and come back the fares are at times similar.....
