EasyJet is to encourage pre-payment for excess luggage by offering an online discount.
Extra weight will be available in denominations of 3kgs at a reduced rate of £15 per 3kgs, a saving of £3 when compared to payment at check in on the day of travel.
Payment of excess charges at the airport will continue to be possible, but at the higher rate, the airline said
Travellers can pre-pay for excess baggage at the time of booking, either online or on the telephone.
But anyone wanting to pre-pay for excess baggage after the booking has been made will initially only be able to make amendments via the airline’s call centre.
Product development manager Peter Gerstle said: “Extra weight pre-payment is the latest facility easyJet has introduced to save its passengers time and money.â€
