New cabin bag policy for travel from 10th February 2021
We’ve made some changes to our cabin bag policy to help improve boarding and punctuality and give customers certainty of what they are allowed to bring on board.
For all travel from 10th February 2021, the seat you've booked will determine what bags you are able to bring on board.
Everyone can take one small cabin bag per person on board (maximum size 45 x 36 x 20cm, including any handles or wheels), which must fit under the seat in front of you. That should be enough to bring all the essentials for your journey or for a short trip. There’s no weight limit, but we do ask that you are able to lift and carry your bag yourself.
If you have booked an Up front or Extra legroom seat you can also bring an additional large cabin bag on board.

We check bag sizes before you board. If your cabin bag is bigger than the maximum size or if you bring a large cabin bag to the departure gate without the correct seat selection, it can’t go in the cabin and we’ll have to check it into the aircraft hold for a charge. Please ensure you check your cabin bag allowance before you travel to avoid any charges. See bags table on our fees and charges page for full details

If you don't select a seat when you book, our system will automatically allocate your seat when you check in. Please be aware that if you are auto-allocated an Up front or Extra legroom seat, your cabin bag allowance will be one small under seat cabin bag.
easyJet Plus cardholders and FLEXI fare customers
In addition to the standard cabin bag allowance, as an easyJet Plus cardholder or FLEXI fare customer, you can also bring on board a large overhead cabin bag by selecting an Up front or Extra legroom seat when you fly. You can do this, free of charge or at a discounted rate, as one of the benefits of your membership or fare.
If you are an easyJet Plus cardholder and have booked a Standard seat, or have not selected a seat, please show your easyJet Plus card at the gate to allow you to board with your large overhead cabin bag. FLEXI fare customers should show their boarding pass.
In the unlikely event that there is no space left in the overhead lockers on board, we'll take your large cabin bag from you at the gate and place it in the hold, free of charge.

Check your cabin bag size
If you’re unsure whether your cabin bag fits within our maximum dimensions you can use our handy bag sizing tool on the easyJet: Travel App (iOS only). Simply open the app and click on your trip itinerary to find the bag sizing tool. You can then use your mobile phone camera to size your cabin bag. If it fits inside the maximum cabin bag dimensions for the bag type you’ve selected, you’re good to go! If it doesn’t fit, don’t worry! You can always change your seat or add hold luggage quickly and easily through the app or within Manage bookings.
Hands Free
Take the hassle out of carrying your cabin bag through the airport by going Hands Free.
It’s also a great value option to bring a bit extra for your trip. Simply drop your cabin bag off at our dedicated easyJet Plus Bag drop when you arrive at the airport and it’ll be amongst the first on the baggage carousel when you get to your destination.
Go Hands Free and enjoy:
- Use of easyJet Plus Bag drop
- Boarding early or at your leisure
- Having all your bags delivered amongst the first on the baggage belt on arrival
Hands Free is available for bags up to a maximum size of 56 x 45 x 25 cm (including any handles or wheels) and can be purchased in advance of your flight or at our dedicated easyJet Plus Bag drop when you arrive at the airport. A small fee applies. See our fees and charges page for full details. You can take a small cabin bag on board (max. size 45 x 36 x 20 cm including any handles or wheels), which must fit under the seat in front of you.

Cabin bag allowances for children
Infants with booked seats and children over 2 years old have the same cabin bag and hold luggage allowance as adults.
If you’re travelling with an infant who will be seated on your lap, only an additional baby changing bag is allowed for the infant (max. 45 x 36 x 20 cm) and this must be placed under the seat in front of you. If the infant is occupying their own seat they are allowed a cabin bag plus a changing bag (max. 45 x 36 x 20 cm).
In addition, for every infant or child you can take up to two of the following items free of charge in addition to your cabin bag allowance:
- travel cot
- pushchair
- double pushchairs
- buggy
- car seat
- collapsible or non-collapsible pram
- booster seat
- baby back carrier.
You can check these in at Bag drop before you go through security, or if you need to use any of them to get to the boarding gate, we’ll collect them from you before you board the plane and put them in the hold. They can then be collected at the baggage reclaim when you arrive.
Please see our travelling with children page for more information on travelling with children and babies.
Hold luggage
Each customer including children and infants can buy up to three hold bags. A standard hold bag is 23kg. You can buy extra weight in 3kgs units, up to a maximum of 32kg per bag.
If you’re travelling with family or friends on the same flight and booking, you can pool your total weight allowance.
No single item can weigh more than 32kg. Maximum total size (length + width + height) = under 275cm.
We've got a range of bag options to suit every kind of trip:
15kg bag
The smart choice for a short break.
23kg standard bag
If you're going away for a little longer our standard bag is the perfect choice.
Up to 32kg bag
For those who pack everything except the kitchen sink.
Hold luggage explained
0m47s
This video explains the easyJet hold luggage policy, including your allowances and any costs for exceeding them. Remember, although there is a charge for each hold item, it's always cheaper to book hold luggage online or via our customer service team before you arrive at the airport.
You’re allowed to bring some extra things into the cabin. e.g. umbrella, overcoat, crutches, walking stick, one standard bag of goods bought at the airport.
The easiest and cheapest way to do this is online or via our mobile app when you book your flights. You can also add them after you’ve booked in Manage Bookings, or during online check-in.
You can also do this at the airport or via our Customer Services Team but it does cost a little more. See fees and charges.
When you add hold luggage to your booking we add a bag to all sectors on your booking. Once you’ve booked hold luggage we’re unable to offer you a refund should you change your mind. If you want to buy hold luggage for only one sector, you can only do this at the airport. Please check our fees and charges for current prices.
If you’ve already checked in you can still add hold luggage to your booking in Manage Bookings. Once you’ve added your luggage simply reprint your boarding passes.
It’s important that you buy the right amount of weight before you fly. You can add extra weight to your hold luggage booking at any time before you fly. It’s easier and cheaper to do this online via Manage Bookings. If your hold luggage weighs more than your allowance when you arrive at the airport we charge you a fee for each 1kg of excess weight. (See fees and charges).
Label your luggage with your name, destination address, email and phone number, and remove tags from previous flights. It’s also advisable to put a copy of your address inside your bag. Avoid packing valuables in your hold luggage and secure handles and loose straps to avoid any damage. It’s best to carry medicine, money and important travel documents in your cabin bag.
Some items are not allowed in the cabin or hold luggage. See restricted items for guidance.
