I am flying with them this week and am only taking an on board bag, no checked in luggage. They have newish rules re bags now. My bag ticks all the boxes but it seems you can only take 1 bag only, not even a handbag as well. So does this mean you can't take any duty free bags?
I only want to buy some toiletries from Boots (because a woman can't be expected to last 3 days on a few 100ml pots ;-) )
Sorry yes I have looked at the website but can't find an answer.

They are quite strict on carry on luggage and I have seen them go down the line queuing at the gates telling people about their one bag policy but I think that varies from flight to flight. Sometimes I've seen it happen, other times not.
Aghh thats brilliant, thanks. Multiple bags you say!!! Ohhhhh

Strictly speaking, if you're flying from the UK to another EU country, there's no such thing as duty free .... because taxes were going to be harmonised...
I think gate staff will show a bit leniency if there's plenty of space on a plane, but you can't rely on this being the case.
Thank you.
To be honest, I think you're taking a chance doing that. In the first place, what's "standard" about a Boots plastic bag? And secondly, the goods aren't duty free. I don't think the latter point is important, but it's a way of defining a size of bag.
If the flight were full, it's quite possible the gate staff would insist on your cabin case going in the hold - at your expense.
Would it be possible for you to leave some space in your case so that you could put the toiletries in there : at least between the gate and the plane.
Alternatively, a coat of many pockets. I have a gilet (as I think it's called) which will take my iPad and my Kindle, wallet, coins, passport, etc.
Flew recently to Krakow with easy-jet , excellent flight , had one hand baggage and bought sandwiches air side onto plane on another bag no problems at all , on way back had 1 duty free bag with 2 bottles in it no problem.
I had four carrier bags, a handbag, and a backpack which all had to be condensed into one bag. I achieved it by wearing a fleece that I had in the backpack together with my jacket and squeezing my handbag into the elasticated pouch on the backpack. I was trussed up like a turkey!
That's two bags. I can't emphasise how strict the one bag policy is. Don't assume that just because it is duty free that you won't be expected to reduce it to one bag on boarding.
There's no need to assume anything - simply read the information in the link to easyJet's own website which was provided by jsmith99 in post #4.
You seem to be talking about passengers with a single cabin bag. I was talking about someone with a cabin bag and a large plastic bag containing goods bought in the shops. The two situations are completely different.
On my flight back from Belfast there was a very strict one bag only policy. No ifs. no buts, no maybes.
If you want to take a chance and load yourself like a donkey, feel free.
So we should take your singular, possibly misinterpreted experience over the Easyjet website?
This trip was very unexpected and very last minute, only booked on Sunday.
Because I was not expecting to find £150 airfare in December with 2 birthdays and Christmas i honestly can't afford to pay for hold baggage. I know I can manage with my cabin bag its the toiletries that are a pain. I have limited time so don't want to be visiting shops at my destination. I just persumed I could take 100ml of toiletries and then buy whatever I needed from Boots before boarding.
So I wonder why they bother having all the shops at the airport now.
My one duty free bag will be from Boots with makeup and similar in it. Surely that will be allowded on but I know it won't fit in my cabin bag.
Yes. Unless you are willing to either dump some of your stuff or pay to have it put into the hold.
How much makeup do you need for goodness sake!
Sorry just read up there^^ Your destination airport will have shops too.
It will but I don't want to waste my limited time in shops. I am visiting my brother who I have not seen for 6 years. Time is precious.
How long does it take just to get a few items? I'm sure your brother will understand.
