The LGW-MXP route on Wizz was the most delayed short haul route in the uk last year!) anyway I way have also sprung for easyJet plus if only they still did hands free as it’s mainly to bring back some wine and oil!
See the screen shots below for my where I’m getting my price quotes from! (Oh I can’t I have done 5 posts!) your just have to take my word that it’s quoting £42.49 each way and that on the easyJet website it says:
Hold luggage - up to 23kg
minimum charges per item, per flight From £9.49
£40 - at bag drop desk
One bag weighing up to 23kg. Fee varies depending on the route selected, flight and time of booking.
You are correct, at the airport the cost is a set £40, this can sometimes be cheaper than the online cost, and therefore is the best option in your case.
However it’s worth remembering the fee may rise with inflation over the next year if you’re booking for next Christmas.
