Easyjet have just sent out this newsletter to all people on their mailing list. We hope this is of use to some of you.
Friday 11 August
Saturday 12 August: easyJet business as usual
easyJet intends to operate a full flying programme on Saturday 12
August 2006 as the situation at airports across the UK returns to
normal, albeit with increased security measures in place.
However, passengers are advised to check in as early as possible -
easyJet check-in desks are opening three hours prior to the scheduled
departure time of the flight, and will close promptly 40 minutes
prior. In our experience intensified security checks will lengthen the
time between check-in and boarding so we advise passengers to plan to
check-in as early as possible.
Passengers and cabin baggage
The following arrangements apply to all passengers starting their
journey at a UK airport and to those transferring between flights at a
UK airport.
With immediate effect all cabin baggage must be processed as hold
baggage and carried in the hold of the aircraft. To minimise the
inconvenience this may cause, we are temporarily increasing our hold
baggage allowance from 20kg to 25kg per person.
All passengers will be hand searched, as well as their footwear and
all of the items they are carrying will be x-ray screened.
Passengers may take through the airport security search point, in a
single (ideally transparent) plastic carrier bag, only the following
items.
Nothing may be carried in pockets:
* pocket size wallets and pocket size purses plus contents (for
example money, credit cards, identity cards etc (not handbags));
* travel documents essential for the journey (for example passports
and travel tickets);
* prescription medicines and medical items sufficient and essential
for the flight (eg, diabetic kit), except in liquid form unless
verified as authentic.
* spectacles and sunglasses, without cases.
* contact lens holders, without bottles of solution.
* for those traveling with an infant: baby food, milk (the contents of
each bottle must be tasted by the accompanying passenger) and sanitary
items sufficient and essential for the flight (nappies, wipes, creams
and nappy disposal bags).
* female sanitary items sufficient and essential for the flight, if
unboxed (eg tampons, pads, towels and wipes).
* tissues (unboxed) and/or handkerchiefs
* keys (but no electrical key fobs)
