I'm flying via sleazy jet end of the month and would like to be able to produce the correct documentation at check in.
I believe that it says in their terms that they will not charge excess baggage on 'bikes' but haven't found it myself.

Marvellous, many thanks
good old forum search 🙂
the above seems pretty clear, but above TJs quote in Easyjets Ts and Cs it also says this:
Sporting equipment
Each passenger is allowed a maximum hold baggage weight of 50 Kgs including any sports equipment, subject to available space. The maximum weight for any single piece of baggage is 32 kgs.
An additional non-refundable fee is charged per item per flight for the carriage of the sporting equipment as set out in the table below:
Currency Per flight (when pre-paid) Per flight (paid at the airport)
GBP 25.00 30.00
EUR 30.00 35.00
CHF 40.00 50.00
DKK 220.00 300.00
CZK 750.00 1,000.00
HUF 8,000.00 10,500.00
PLN 120.00 150.00
MAD 350.00 400.00Payment of the additional fee increases your checked-in hold baggage allowance (including additional item) to a maximum weight of 32kgs.
Where your total checked-in hold baggage weighs more than 32Kgs, normal excess baggage charges as set out above shall apply in addition to the above fee.
which seems to contradict itself as well as what TJ quoted.....
what's the reality? is it 50 inc bike? 32? how can EJ make it so confusing, or is it my tired head.....
Thanks 🙂
Good old forum search Anna 😉
Thanks cynical. Managed to get a date with Elfin yet?
Anyone else able to un-confuse me?
this may not be correct but i read that as...
[b]General Rules:[/b]
50kg is the maximum you can put in the hold.
32kg is the maximum for an individual item.
[b]Rules for sports kit:[/b]
Paying the sports equipment charge increases your checked-in baggage allowance too 32kg (including sports kit).
Anything over 32kg would be subject to normal excess baggage charges, but you can't more than 18kg excess baggage as this would put you over the 50kg limit.
Hope that helps.
