"All easyJet passengers will be encouraged to limit themselves to a single piece of checked-in baggage. Any additional bags will be charged at Ģ5 (if paid on-line, and Ģ10 if paid at the airport at the time of departure). The total weight limit will remain at 20kg, regardless of the number of bags checked-in."
So with Easyjet you'll have to pay if you have more than one suitcase to check in. Seems more complicated than it's worth!
Pity to see Easyjet go down this Flybe/Ryanair/AerLingus road of baggage charges, albeit half-heartedly

EasyJet Newcastle - Rome
I've been watching the departures and arrivals of Rome - Newcastle EasyJet flight for a couple of months, as I'm travelling there soon on this flight.
I've noticed that the flight is cancelled at least once a week.
There is no information / explanation regarding this.
Any ideas?

It's probably due to their crewing issues at the moment, they either don't have enough cabin crew or pilots, so they are going through cancelling the lighter loaded flights in the schedule, maybe 1 or 2 a day, maybe only 1 or 2 a week, depending on how each base is doing

EasyJet Newcastle- Rome
Thanks for that. I know it's a stupid question but what do they do about the passengers, as far as I can see there is only the one carrier and one flight going out of NCL per day, so there's not much chance of an alternative flight on the same day?
Put them all up until the next day/flight?
Cheers

easyJet have cancelled hundreds of flights this summer due to crew shortages. There has been much discussion about it on PPRuNe.
I was informed my flights BRS-EDI-BRS in June were cancelled (for 'operational reasons') via email about two weeks beforehand. I was given the option to cancel and be reimbursed my fare or seek an alternative date.
When I tried the latter I found that numerous other BRS-EDI-BRS flights had been cancelled in June, along with other routes as well, so I elected to have my money returned.
Since then easyJet has cancelled many more flights from BRS (and indeed form elsewhere), on various routes, and I have noticed that the Thursday BRS-Rome (CIA) rotation has been a regular victim.

Rumour has it, over 400 flights have or will be cancelled this month due to....operational reasons......allegedly, a lack of both cabin and flight deck crew. Must be costing easyJet a small fortune!

Pity we have to wait another while before they reveal what new Madrid routes will be launched in February
Why announce it now? They could just have well announced it in September together with the routes
Rumoured routes include:
Lanzarote
Tenerife North
Bilbao
Asturias
These above routes are already served by competitors from Madrid. Any rumours on what the "brand new" Madrid destinations (that they talk of it the press release) shall be?

Perhaps they were rushed into announcing it before they planned to beat a similar Ryanair announcement?

easyJet open a base in Madrid
As of the 16th Feb 2007 Madrid will be an easyJet base. Long rumoured, recently a dead cert and today confirmed. No aircraft number or route information yet published but typically it is between 3 and 5 aircaft and the usual suspects.

Will be very interesting to see the "new" contracts for MAD
This will be a big one for BALPA to make sure we are not getting the sort of contracts you can find in some local (ie Vueling) outfits!!!

What are all the staff going to do with the bonus announced today. Equivalent of 2 weeks wages paid in shares that you can sell in 3 years time. Given for all the staff hard work this summer.
I wonder what all the thousands of passengers that have had their travel plans disrupted by the massive volume of cancellations will get........?

Great news indeed.
Heard the expansion also takes on new domestic routes, ie. Madrid to Granada,
and MAD to the Canary Islands....Rumour not confirmed though
