EasyJet passengers are voicing their concerns regarding a new trial of handheld luggage sizers at London Gatwick Airport. Many travelers feel that the sudden switch from standard sizing cages to handheld sizers at the gate creates an unfair situation, as these devices often lead to bags being deemed oversized. One passenger described the experience as feeling like they were 'set up to fail,' particularly since their bag fit perfectly in the standard sizing cage. EasyJet clarified that the trial involves a small number of flights and that the dimensions of the handheld sizers are consistent with standard measurements. The airline also emphasized that charges for oversized bags are only applied if a bag exceeds the booked allowance. Additionally, a leaked email revealed that staff at Swissport, which operates passenger gates, receive bonuses for identifying oversized bags, raising concerns about the motivations behind enforcing these rules. EasyJet allows one small cabin bag per passenger, with specific size and weight restrictions, and charges approximately £48 for bags that exceed the allowance.
