Easyjet is a fraudulent and unreliable airline. They promised to respond to my complaint within 28 days and of course never sent any further response. When I made my flight booking for Transavia and Easyjet flights through Kiwi.com, there was only one baggage purchase option at all, available only for 15 kg, which I purchased. There was no other purchase option on the website or at any time after. When I arrived at the airport, Easyjet charged me 90 Swiss Francs for my bag because it was 5kg beyond the limit (had I been informed of any issue in advance or that there was no way to pay the normal difference in fee, I would simply have brought a carry on bag, which easily would have fit 5kg).
The employee at Easyjet check in, Ehsan, and his manager, Suzanna, refused to wave or reduce the fee. But Ehsan directly and unequivocally admitted that Easyjet knew there were serious ongoing problem with the Kiwi website and that many customers had complained, but "not enough" for Easyjet to bother to do anything about it. (He laughed and said maybe if enough people took legal action something might change). He admitted explicitly there was no other way to purchase the larger baggage option on the Kiwi website, and that Kiwi did not offer the larger bag option at all (you would have to know you need to download a completely separate Easyjet app, and then use the app, which is not an option ever disclosed). Easyjet fully knew of this fraud and did absolutely nothing to address it, which means it is completely complicit. Ehsan also said I could have bought two separate bags at 15kg, which is absurd, as there is no way to know that Easyjet would allow you to combine them for single bag, and also would have been much more expensive than the larger bag option which was never made available. (I had the same issue with Transavia, but their employee was actually honest enough to acknowledge that Kiwi had created this known problem and not recharge me for the bag).
This is the legal definition of fraud--it means Easyjet is allowing and likely encouraging Kiwi to sell its tickets in a fraudulent manner so it can charge passengers exorbitant, extortionate amounts at check in. Easyjet has not responded at all. Kiwi and Easyjet have thousands of complaints against them that all demonstrate how deliberately deceptive their entire business models and operations are. Never fly on this airline. read more
