Excess Baggage?
Have Jet2 suddenly become a lot stricter on excess baggage. Just got back from Faro today (the 30th), and for the first time in my life I got charged for excess baggage (I'm a pretty regular traveller, lived abroad for nearly 20years).
Was 5kg over ( the woman tried to charge me 6kg as her maths was not too hot), looking at some of the leaflets at the payment desk, and they had been charging people for 4kg over too). But I got stung for €48. Not too happy, especially as they have reduced both the size of the hand luggage AND hold allowance in the last 6months (with hold bagage going 20kg then 25kg now 18kg), hand luggage is also reduced below the department of transport amount too. Obviously no liquids over 100ml etc etc etc. Is it just me or this a bit tight? Have flown this route numerous times and never had any problems, including the way out when I had some heavy speakers in there for pressies!
