Yeah we used them they were hot, got me both ways, please sir try to get your bag in this frame, I rammed it in lol they had to put there foot on it so I could pull it out lol, twice that happened, they are now charing £50 for 15kg bag, ridiculous that like. We saw a few get pulled for the hand luggage, one guy took stuff out of his bag, wrap the clothes round his neck then got his bag in the frame, opened his case and stuck them back in lol. really funny.
We travelled with Monarch too and when we got to the gate we were told we should have had our hand luggage checked and then they put a label on it to say it's within their restrictions. Fortunately the guy at the gate wasn't a jobsworth and he just put one of the labels on and let us go through....phew. But it never mentioned anything about that when you check in online and there was nothing on any of the paperwork, so how the heck are you supposed to know ???
I usually go with Easyjet BC, but I will be listening to what they say to us,when we check in our main case, if at all anything is said about our hand luggage. Thanks for the tip there.
