There are sometimes bargains to be had when it comes to carry-on bag charges, says Laura Anne Sargeant, who documents her holidays online under the name Travelling Page Turner. But in her experience never anything as low as the £5.99 suggested by easyJet.
“It’s usually closer to £20,” she says.
easyJet has now been told by the UK’s advertising watchdog to stop claiming this price is available, after it failed to provide evidence customers could bring a bag on for that cost.
While budget airlines say they offer low carry-on prices, Which? found in the vast majority of cases they weren’t available. The consumer rights organisation only found Ryanair’s lowest advertised price (£12) accessible twice out of 634 flights it checked, and found Wizz Air’s lowest price of €10 was available twice in 338 flights.
To avoid a bill for carry-on luggage, Laura Anne is “really ruthless” with her packing.
“I’ll use the hotel body wash,” she says, “I never take a hairdryer.”
Then if she is travelling with someone else they can share a case and split the cost between them.
