EasyJet offers passengers hand-luggage check-in for $5
UK LCC easyJet is rolling out a new “Hands Free” service, where passengers can pay GBP4 ($5) to leave their hand luggage at check-in and receive priority boarding. EasyJet is launching the service across its network (excluding London Gatwick) after more than 9,000 passengers chose the option during a four-week trial in France earlier this year. “We’ve seen a fantastic response from customers upgrading to the ‘Hands Free’ experience,” easyJet ancillary revenue director Andrew Middleton said. Under the initiative, passengers part with their hand luggage at the airside bag drop desk in the departures hall. The bags are then tagged as priority luggage, so they are among the first delivered to the baggage belt at the arrival airport. EasyJet normally charges GBP13-£30 for hold luggage, increasing to GBP35 at the bag drop desk, or GBP45 at the boarding gate.<br/>
