Hello all, hope you're well.
Jumping right in to it, my GF and I missed out on our 7 day trip to Croatia this year, so we rebooked when we could afford to and are due to fly out to Dubrovnik, meander up to Split over the course of 9 days, and fly home again, in June 2021.
I've just had and email from EasyJet this morning, updating their cabin bag policy, from the usual sizing (basically a small suitcase of 56 x 45 x 25 cm) to a small backpack size (of 45 x 36 x 20 cm), which MUST FIT UNDER THE SEAT IN FRONT OF YOU.
Now, I'm not too sure how y'all travel with your medication and equipment on planes, where you've only booked hand luggage, but I go to the special assistance team (with EJ anyway) and request permission for a cabin suitcase to go in the overhead with my spares in, and a handbag for all my insulin to go in, so I can see it at all times.
This new policy update suggests to me that unless you upgrade your seat to include a cabin sized suitcase, you're only allowed the smaller 40cm bag.
Has anyone got an insight in to this new policy, or knows the best way to let EJ know that this isn't convenient?
I dont think I'm being too unnecessary but I'm loathe to put anything in the hold.
