Flying with a baby via EasyJet
Show your support
Thank you @Josie - I thought this was the case as surely no one would ever do any shopping if they then had to pay to take it on the plane and I always usually buy bits from duty free and have never been questioned but the staff member I spoke to on the phone told me I would have to pay for an additional hand luggage bag to carry it onto the plane 🤔 x
I can answer #2. You can take as much formula or water with you as baby will reasonably need on the flight. I took 6 x 200ml premades on an 11 hour flight and about the same to Spain. They will need to be scanned separately so make sure you have them ready for this. You won't be prioritised for the scanning so you will be behind every muppet who forgot about the liquids rule but you will get to queue jump for boarding and actually getting to the scanning bit. Don't worry about the clear bags or 100ml restrictions.
The liquids rules are airport rules and not airline rules
Thank you @Sam that’s really helpful x
I took flasks of hot and cooled boiled water thru along with milk powder and food pouches. They only scanned the 2 flasks as that's all I had with liquid in they weren't bothered about anything else, we flew from Leeds Bradford and we didn't have to que we went straight thru. It was the same coming home too in dalaman. Also I didn't know this but if your pushchair folds flat into hand luggage size you can take this on the plane and put it in over head storage it was helpful for us as we had a right walk from the plane to the luggage collection. We flew with jet2 so I would ask at checkin if you are allowed to do that x
Thanks @Nichola that’s good to know. Unfortunately EasyJet charge you to put the pram in the overhead locker, but our pram is a couple of cm over size requirements anyway so we will have to make do with it going in the hold. Thank you x
I can only answer 1, but anything you get after security isn’t classed as hand luggage so you shouldn’t be charged for that xx
