easyJet refunds nearly £100 in baggage fines to a passenger after the airline admits its luggage size checker was faulty, according to reports. The case involves travellers flying from Iceland to Greece with a connection via London Gatwick. During the pre-boarding process, passengers’ bags are said to have been assessed as “oversized” by the airline’s size-checking device, raising concerns that some luggage may have been incorrectly flagged. The airline later acknowledges that the size checker was not working properly, which led to the passenger receiving a refund of charges connected to the baggage assessment. The reports describe the dispute as a result of the screening equipment’s incorrect measurements rather than the passenger’s bag exceeding the airline’s stated limits. The refund is presented as the resolution for the passenger who challenged the decision following the faulty check. The outcome highlights how errors in ground-handling tools can affect baggage compliance determinations and the charges applied at airports.
