taking medications on Easyjet

I will have a document for need to take medications with me in quantity because I will be away 5 weeks. There is enough to fill a large handbag/small back pack, including large tubes of gel and some other liquids in small vials and liquid gels, also non liquid medications. Other airlines allow these to not count as my carry on limit. What is the Easyjet policy? May I have these on board FREE OF CHARGE besides my small suitcase carry on? Do you have a phone service I can call in the USA?

Why don't you read the Easyjet policy like this one https://www.easyjet.com/en/help/boar...-and-equipment, item #1 "What medication and equipment you can take on board."

I think she wants to know if she can take them onboard and not be charged for extra luggage?

At the bottom of this page: https://www.easyjet.com/en/help/bagg...d-hold-luggage there is a chat function. You could try that to confirm you can carry your medicines in addtion to a carry on.

It doesn't really say but I suspect not, you don't get special favors just because you want to carry a bunch of meds onboard for weeks and weeks of use. The rules are pretty clear as to the size allowed and it seems to me that those would fit into the second personal size item that is allowed if you buy a Flex ticket or whatever. YOu are allowed one carryon bag that goes in the overhead bin (which is pretty generous size) PLUS one smaller sized carryon which must fit under the seat in front of you. That's a totebag size thing (or a purse if you want). If those meds are really just enough to "fill a large handbag", I don't see what the problem is.

Just buy the right tickets. Even if not, their payment for a checked bag isn't that high, I've done it many times, it's pretty cheap if you buy online in advance.

Note: you can only take ONE bag on board if you pay regular fare. If you pay an extra £20-£25 you get to sit in the first few rows and can bring a second bag (e.g. handbag or computer bag).

Cabin bag

Maximum size 56x45x25cm, including handles and wheels. Cabin bags should be placed in the overhead lockers or if small enough under the seat in front of you.

Flexi, Upfront, Extra Legroom customers and easyJet Plus cardholders

You can bring an additional under seat bag like a laptop bag or handbag. Maximum size 45x36x20cm. Bags must be placed under the seat in front of you
