The biggest downside of the Ryanair offers is that they only give a 15Kg allowance, so you either have to be supercrafty with your hand luggage, or pay an arm and a leg for more baggage allowance.

You do get 10kg cabin baggage allowance though.

I know, I know, swings and roundabouts on what you can and can't do and what you do and don't pay for. But it works for me, daily flights in and out of Luqa/Malta and Stansted.

10K cabin ? Is that all ?
I like Easyjet for this... 20Kg hold and unlimited within reason (sort of gentleman's agreement of not more than another 20Kg in the cabin!)

I might have to consider Ryanair, but generally they work out almost to the penny the same price as Easyjet, and I find their booking system and weight allowances much easier to sort out.

I'll be f*cked if I'm lugging a 20kg bag up into the overhead lockers, I struggle with 10kg.

Each to their own Ratty, like I said, it works for me, it doesn't have to work for you.

I hate Sleazyjet - the orange colour makes me feel bilious

Heh! I'm not saying that I'd put 20Kg up there, just that you can do. I think the biggest cabin bag I have had was about 10Kg, but my hold luggage that time was the full 20Kg, so I'd have been buggered on ryanair on that particular trip.

But as you say, its whatever works well for your needs They all have something to offer customers.

Nope, surface swim, check transits, drop through about 15m of blue and onto (not literally) the area between the pointy end and the mast.

Next year Ludders, next year!
