Apparently these two tried to fly standby, but were told they couldn't because easyjet couldn't guarantee they could get the bags on the same flight if they were cleared at the last minute. And the bags had to go with the passengers. YMMV...
Huh???
What do you mean EZ's miserly carry on allowance???
EZ were the first European airline that I'm aware of to get rid of a weight allowance for carry on luggage ^ ^ ^ .
From:
http://www.easyjet.com/EN/Planning/baggage.html
"one standard piece of hand baggage to maximum dimensions of 55x40x20cm" the only weight restriction is that you need to be able to stow it away unaided.
"In addition, passengers may carry on board a handbag, clutchbag, coat, umbrella, duty-free goods (small items), a laptop computer, car seats for infant passengers and small items of photographic or scientific equipment. These will not form part of the above allowances."
Easyjet certainly don't have a miserly carry on allowance - quite the opposite!
