EASY JET New rules in place from 10th February 2021
This new policy was announced in early December. If you have a booking made before December for later in 2021, you may be in for a bit of a surprise.
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.
All passengers can bring one small cabin bag on board for free, with a maximum size of 45cm x 36cm x 20cm including any handles or wheels. This bag must fit underneath the seat in front of you (ie. backpacks, handbags, laptop bags etc). There’s no weight limit, but you must be able to lift and carry your bag yourself.
Customers who booked Up Front or Extra Legroom seats will get one additional, larger cabin bag included in their fare. This must be 56cm x 45cm x 25cm or smaller, and can go in the overhead locker. This could be a duffel bag or wheely bag, for example.
easyJet Plus and FLEXI fare holders will also be able to bring a larger bag.
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.
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.
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 of 7 pounds per passenger or 16 pounds for a family bundle applies. 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 yo
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
