Gaza, could you clarify just how Flybe adopt an unfair approach to the business traveller which by coincidence is their main market?
As far as I see it, passengers in economy and economy plus may carry a piece of hand baggage that fits within a certain size. The bag itself is still big enough to accomodate more than a laptop but when travelling on the latter ticket you get to carry that in addition to the laptop. Any person that checks a laptop in to hold baggage is asking for trouble in my opinion.
As it happens if customers follow their restrictions and conditions you will find Flybe offer a far more superior business package to passengers over EasyJet. Look at Business Express, Economy Plus, Rewards4all, business lounges etc. Its all about reading the restrictions on the ticket and adhering to them.
