- Free small cabin bag (45 × 36 × 20 cm): One small bag for every passenger. It must fit completely beneath the seat in front.
- Large cabin bag (56 × 45 × 25 cm): Must be booked separately or included with an eligible fare or easyJet Plus benefit. Stored in the overhead locker and includes Speedy Boarding.
- Standard hold bag (23 kg): Additional weight can be purchased in increments up to a maximum of 32 kg per bag.
- Cabin bag weight limit: Each cabin bag can weigh up to 15 kg, but the passenger must be able to lift and carry it independently.
Small Cabin Bag Rules (45 × 36 × 20 cm)
Included with Every Booking. Every passenger may bring one small cabin bag at no additional cost. The dimensions include handles, external pockets and wheels. The bag must fit beneath the seat in front of you.
Suitable options include a compact backpack, small holdall, handbag, laptop bag or correctly sized under-seat trolley case.
💡 Note: Your personal handbag is not automatically an extra item. A handbag, laptop bag or shopping bag counts as your small cabin bag unless your booking includes a second large cabin bag. Place smaller personal items inside the permitted bag before boarding.
Large Cabin Bag Rules (56 × 45 × 25 cm)
It must fit inside the overhead locker and remain within the dimensions of 56 × 45 × 25 cm, including wheels and handles. A booked large cabin bag can weigh up to 15 kg and includes Speedy Boarding.
A seat upgrade does not always guarantee a large cabin bag. Check the exact benefits shown in your booking. If a seat is automatically allocated, the seat location alone does not necessarily change your baggage allowance.
easyJet Hold Luggage Allowance
easyJet's standard hold-luggage allowance is 23 kg. Passengers may also be offered other bookable weights, including 15 kg, 26 kg, 29 kg and 32 kg. Extra weight can be purchased before travel, with 32 kg being the maximum permitted weight for a single checked bag.
No single bag should exceed the maximum handling limit, even when passengers travelling together have a larger combined allowance.
How to Avoid easyJet Baggage Fees
- Check Your Booking: Confirm whether your fare includes only the small under-seat bag or also includes a large overhead cabin bag.
- Measure Handles and Wheels: The complete bag must fit inside the dimensions. Do not measure only the main body of the suitcase.
- Pack Before Measuring: Soft bags often expand after packing. Close every zip and measure the deepest point.
- Weigh the Bag at Home: Keep each cabin bag within 15 kg and each checked suitcase within its purchased allowance.
- Book Extra Luggage Online: Adding baggage before reaching the airport is usually cheaper than paying an airport bag fee.
- Keep Essentials in the Small Bag: Store travel documents, medicine, valuables and batteries in the bag that will remain with you.
