Really Stupid Question but.......

[mancmo]

Flying with easyjet in a couple of weeks to Poland. We are just taking hand luggage so nothing to check in.

We have realised that we NEED to take the hair straightners (3 girls travelling).

Do easyjet or any airline for that matter, allow straightners, hairdryers etc in handluggage? Before you all shout

"check their website"

ive already done that and cant find any info on it.

Thanks xx

I think there is a difference between the travel straighteners and electric ones because of the gas cannister thingey!

Bit of advice with this company - leave your details with a friend or relative ie passport number, etc. This company left me and my husband high and dry in Morocco after cancelling a flight and I had to take them to court to get my costs reimbursed.

The perils of no frills I am afraid but make sure you have a credit card and info at home just in case you have to get yourselves back.

Yes you can take hair straighteners in your hand luggage with Easyjet.

But if they need mains power don't forget to take an adaptor otherwise you won't be able to get them to work.

Just a bit of advice and something I do now whoever I travel with.

We were told, en masse, that the flight was cancelled and no other flight was being put on. It was a mad rush out of the terminal to get into queues for other airlines, etc.

We couldn't get a flight for two days, had to stay in a hotel, paid a fortune for BA flights and into the wrong airport so had to pay to get to LGW and then pay excess parking - on our honeymoon!!!! It took me nearly ten months to get my money back and I had to take them to court.

If we had left details with someone a quick text could have got us booked on cheap flights in minutes. Just a precaution but Easyjet have very small print re cancellations which, sadly, they still do not adhere to.

My cheap holiday cost me as much again to get home - but where would we be without those memories, eh??? LOL

WiseOldSage, I've scanned in the details page of my passport and emailed it to myself at hotmail, so if need be (and with the aid of an internet cafe) I can get at them any time.

Glad you got your money back, though.

I have been lucky enough never to have any problems with easyjet - always had smooth running journeys with them. I have had many probs with ryanscare though and as mentioned these no frills airlines can leave you high and dry - offering you flights 4 days later etc. I would always recommend you have your credit card incase you need extra money to get home and often this will not be covered by insurance. But try not to fret - enjoy!
