I used to love Easyjet T&C's for baggage as they used to say that bikes don't attract any additional charges relating to their weight, great. Last year we even got Easyjet to confirm that we could take up to 50kg's of hold luggage (no single item over 32kg's ) at no additional charge.
Looking at their T&C's today and they have changed so it reads that - with the additional fee for the bike, total hold luggage can't exceed 32kg's. Anything over will be chargeable at £10 /Kg.
Problem is, my bike weighs a ton in its bag (23kg's) my riding kit weighs in a 9Kg's and I'm still to pack my non riding cloths...
OK I can cram them into hand luggage etc and wear a few more things than I need but, I can't help thinking that, as we booked the flights ages ago, surely the old T&C's will apply or can they change them and inflict the new ones upon us?
EDIT _ I'm a knob for not reading the T&C's properly in the first place - EDIT
Still says
[b][i]Passengers travelling with bicycles are recommended to check-in 2 hours prior to departure. Bicycles are subject to the sports equipment fee and exempt from any excess baggage charges relating to the weight of the bicycle.[/i][/b]
Panic over, found the line I love best
Bicycles are subject to the sports equipment fee and exempt from any excess baggage charges relating to the weight of the bicycle.
I think you'll find that it's 32 kgs for your bike and 20kgs for another bag.
A swift edit on the title there CHL.
passengers max allowance is 50Kg's with no single item weighing over 32kg's singlespeed stu.
Sporting equipment
Each passenger is allowed a maximum hold baggage weight of 50 Kgs including any sports equipment, subject to available space. The maximum weight for any single piece of baggage is 32 kgs.
An additional non-refundable fee is charged per item per flight for the carriage of the sporting equipment as set out in the table below:
Maybe they got it wrong just for me a couple of weeks ago then...
You need to carry their T&C's with you with the bit about the bike not attracting additional charges etc.
Last year we had a printed email off customer services confirming what we all know but we didn't need to use it.
I've never been picked up for extra weight by Easy Jet in 8 years of using them.
Maybe being early and nice to the check in staff counts for more that carrying a bit of paper with some T&C's on. 😉

3 years for me but always hear of horror stories of folk being charged (incorrectly probably) because check in staff don't know their own T&C's.
I did get told off in Geneva in 2008 though and told "don't overpack your bag again, tut tut tut" she was dead serious too, even though i was well under the 32kg single bag limit and under the 50kg limit total - but total weight was over 32kg's between my 2 hold bags.
