Re: Lifting pax hand-luggage into overhead bins
This is a major problem that I see with easyJet's recent decision to abolish all hand luggage restrictions, besides that your piece of hand luggage must fit into the gauge at the check-in desk as well as being able to lift the bag above your head. Now, if you've got a queue of passengers waiting to check-in, you don't have time to ask all 156 pax if they could just lift the bag over their head & pause like it's a game of Simon Says. Similarly, considering easyJet want 25-minute turns at all airports (including major ones) surely pax struggling to stow heavy carryon items into the overhead bins, thus blocking aisles, and therefore delaying the boarding process is a cause for concern.
Considering that many business pax find it a MAJOR inconvenience to wait 20 minutes for their bag to come on the belt in arrivals, I still think it's best to limit the weight allowance to 10kgs & one bag that can also fit under the seat. Just my $0.02.
