They can tell by the boarding card if you have pre purchased an overhead locker bag or not. They are also pretty strict at enforcing the new policy.
How do Easyjet police their cabin bag policy at the gate? If you turn up with a bag that doesn't fit under the seat and you therefore were supposed to have purchased the large cabin bag add on, how do they know at the gate that you have paid for this or not?
Does the boarding pass show details of your booking when they scan it at the gate? If not then how do they know what size bag you have paid to take on board?
Regards

Because we’re being told it’s all over. Flew to Netherlands three weeks back and lost 25% of pax. Yes a lot were foreign football fans self connecting but at least some were British completely oblivious they needed a test because “it’s in the news we don’t need one”.
It’s far beyond aviation it’s everywhere. It’s back to the December position in town of shops/restaurants with signs in the window opening late, closing early, closed today…staff absences/unforeseen circumstances etc. In-person meetings cancelled. At the local Parkrun attendance was way down yesterday.

Relatives of mine have had their flights cancelled for three weeks time....from reading social media et al it doesn't seem like an isolated incident on just that route.
Three weeks from now seems too far away just to be down to covid. Does anyone know the reason? Are they trimming back on routes?

The ‘Covid’ excuse is being used a lot by various aviation related parties. In order to hit the ground running for the Summer schedule, you need to be recruiting no later than Nov-early Dec and use the relatively quiet winter period for training. This never happens in aviation as the companies do not want excess staff on their books with little income from the fare box. This is not a new phenomenon as it happens every year.

Trying to book hold luggage for a flight which I only require for the outbound and not the return flight…EasyJet website states it has to be done at the airport on departure, but I can’t find out any further info like how much it’ll cost.
It’s £29.49 to add a 15kg bag per flight which is fine but, I only want it for one way and not the return leg…

As far as I am aware, you can only book a bag online for the flights you have booked (i.e. it has to be a return if you book a return). If you try to do it either at the airport, or via the call centre - the last time I tried, they charged double! So basically the same of what a return would be!!

Just book the flights as one-ways with each leg in a separate booking, and include the bag on the one you want. Don't whatever you do go to the airport and try to sort it there - it'll cost you a fortune.
Reading from a normally reliable blog, that the 156 seat A319s will be changed to 150 seats, so that 1 fewer cabin crew is needed. I can see the logic, but not sure of the veracity of whether it's going to happen. Is there any truth in this ?

I have seen this, believe it’s a temporary measure because of the shortage of cabin crew right now.
By taking out the back row of seating on its A319 fleet, EasyJet said it will be able to fly with three cabin crew instead of four. That would limit numbers on board to a maximum 150 passengers. EasyJet said it was an effective way of operating the fleet while "building additional resilience and flexibility" into the airline's operations. Flights would still meet Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) regulations on the required number of cabin crew, which is based on the number of physical seats, rather than passengers on board.
