We're trying to get from Cracow to London in order to fly home on Virgin this summer. AFAICT all the intra-europe flights share the same luggage policy--20-25kg max luggage weight per passenger, with a overweight charge of 5-12 euros per kilo and no option for a second bag. We'd like to bring an extra suitcase of personal effects.

Lacking any other reasonable options, I had the bright idea of going EasyJet to London and just buying an extra $122 ticket so we could bring one more suitcase. But I'm not sure if that's even possible, and not sure if EasyJet is still going to hold me to the 20 kilos per person.

Anybody know?

You can take two bags in Raynair. In wizzair you can buy an extra place and take a fragile stuff like a music instrument on board. – mithy Feb 7 '12 at 20:28

Mithy: Neither of those airlines flies out of Cracow. And for EasyJet: "Each passenger who pays for a hold bag can take up to 20kg of luggage. This weight allowance applies to the passenger rather than to the bag so purchasing extra bags is possible but will not increase the weight allowance." easyjet.com/en/planning/baggage.html – Kevin G.

Easyjet has quite a particular policy. If you add one bag to your reservation, you are allowed to take one piece of luggage with a maximum weight of up to 20 kilograms. If you want to take more, everything has to be paid separately. Just adding an second bag does not automatically entitle you to take more than 20 kilograms of luggage.

Suppose you would like to take two bags of 18kg each. Then yo will have to pay a fee to take a second bag. In addition, you will have to pay a fee for the additional weight (+16kg).

Note that the so-called low cost airlines, as Easyjet do not necessarily offer the lowest prices. Sometimes they do, but not always. I would check the available alternatives on a site like Kayak.

Note that Ryanair is operating flights from the Krakow John Paul II airport to London Stansted and to a couple of other cities.
