A freind related this incident to me:
My freind and his wife travelled from Liverpool to Barcelona with easyJet. They were each checking a "Samsonite" (30" hard-side) suite case and carrying on a standard soft-sided American Tourister bag. No problem at Liverpool, however when they checked in at Barcelona they were told that their checked baggage was overweight, his by two kilos. and hers by three kilos. They had not added anything to their checked bagage. Further, they were told that their carry-on didn't meet specifications and would have to go in the hold. They had purchased Lladro and wished to carry it aboard in their carry-on which, as I said, was considered "oversize".
They removed the porcelain and checked their carry-on, an action which increased the weight of their checked baggage by another four kilos. Total cost for overweight, £165.00.
Apparently the fares were £62.00 each which is £41.00 cheaper than the fare for their baggage.
