the 50kg total is the max you can take, but you have to pay for 18kgs as excess luggage.
Follow the pics on the previous post and you wont go wrong. |

I understand that 18kg of the 50 kg is excess.

This is where the contradiction occurs. The pics show two people with 1 bag & 2 sports as having an allowance of 44kg. According to my interpretation of the Carriers Regulations (this constitutes the contract, not the pictures on the help page
"9.5. Baggage Charges
You may carry checked Baggage as specified and subject to the conditions, fees and limitations contained in our Carrier's Regulations.")
and my conversation with a manager in customer services, the allowance should be 64kg. ie. two peoples maximum allowance of 32kg.
"9.6. Excess Baggage
Each Passenger is usually permitted to transport on payment of a fee Checked Baggage up to a maximum weight, as specified in Carrier's Regulations. "
Those maximum weights are 20kg for a fee of £18 and 32kg for a fee of £50 as long as it contains (some) sports equipment.
Sorry to bang on, but I'd feel more comfortable if someone else comes to the same conclusion after reading all the small print. 20kg is a lot of kit to leave behind or pay excess on.
Also a matter of principle. I don't want to let EasyJet get away with anything! |

Its not your interpretation that counts though 
Sleasyjet will have had lawyers look at their T&C's in minute detail before they were published (any one thats done any work with banks will know what I mean) and will have their stance on how they are interpreted.
That picture I posted was taken from the Sleazyjet Baggage allowance page that they've created to help people understand their allowances. Therefore, I'd presume that the images illustrate how they interpret their T&C's. |

The trouble is, I've got too much time on my hands at the moment!
Certainly wouldn't be the best start to a holiday, holding up a long check-in queue, shaking a copy of the T&Cs whilst the wife & kids look on in dismay.
As I said, unless I can get it confirmed by EJ, I'll stick to the lower limit - even if it is wrong 
Regarding the baggage picture - that could be a graphic designer's error that nobody's picked up! I've done worse myself. I did some credit card type things for a police safe drinking programme that got printed with a spelling mistake. Only 2 million of them!  Thankfully they let it go as they'd signed it off. |

Just because you're paranoid
Don't mean they're not gonna charge you excess.
Spoke to EJ again. Same reply.
1 person, 1 board bag, 32kg, can have non sports equipment in it.
Official line.
Also my personal experience.
Anyone ever been charged excess for over 12kg in a board bag?
If the same conversation is coming up every year, sounds like no one has come up with a definitive answer yet. Maybe SCUK should have a section on this with official EasyJet policy, not hearsay & conjecture? |

| Jeremy Jones doesn't carry 50kg into the AK back country. You wont need it to cruise reds in Europe for a week. |

I merely read a thread on the subject, saw some opinions, decided they were wrong and gave the correct one. Surely you can sympathise with that? |

No, because like you say it can be up to 32Kg.
Once you add sports carriage your overall limit is pushed from 20Kg to 32Kg. That doesn't mean you can only have 12Kg in your boardbag, you can split the 32Kg anyway you want over the number of bags you have paid for. |

| Seriously though. How about one of the office staff here getting on to EasyJet in an official capacity to clarify & confirm, then post it as a sticky or whatever. Got to be worth it. |

I meant if only taking a board bag. Reading back over the whole thread, it seems that some people have. I can feel a cause coming on! |

Like I say.... "Once you add sports carriage your overall limit is pushed from 20Kg to 32Kg!"
So, if you only have a boardbag it can be 32Kg.
I can confirm that this is the case! |
