I just checked into the airport to fly to Geneva with Easyjet, which was the cheapest flight to Switzerland. I've specifically been carrying around a backpack and carry-on bag. So naturally I say I'm not checking luggage in.
They tell me at the gate I need to pay 40€ for not declaring I'm checking luggage.
I'm sorry, what? No, this is a carry-on.
We only allow one item on board.
Well, this backpack is a personal item.
Only one. It was all over the website.
So, exactly what year is it that there are still airlines which don't allow a personal item, and charge you extra when there's confusion? Seriously, travel through Europe is absolutely an inconvenience at best.
Update: The overhead bins are nowhere near capacity and my backpack fits under the seat. This was definitely just for getting more money, but for any safety reasons.
