EasyJet, Ryanair and BA warning to anyone boarding plane with 'smart bags'

A furious holidaymaker has issued a warning to travellers, after claims EasyJet "quietly changed" its rules on permitted baggage.

The customer claims they had been denied boarding, after being told that their checked-in luggage was against airline rules. The traveller, Pandora Sykes, had checked in a 'smart bag', which is a suitcase that has USB ports.

Taking to Twitter, Pandora said: "Beware anyone being so foolish to fly Easyjet - captain just refused to let us board our flights because our checked-in suitcases have USB ports (aka “smart bags”). Easyjet quietly changed their Ts&Cs a few weeks ago without telling their customers."
