It’s no surprise you’ve got a seat on one of the biggest airlines in Europe… But what about your bags?

Sure, easyJet’s hand luggage allowance and baggage costs aren’t as strict as those of Ryanair or other airlines, but it’s best to know what you’re dealing with ahead of time.

Let us explain all you need to know when it comes to easyJet’s hand luggage allowance, including liquids and foods allowed onboard. We’ll keep you up to date about the latest easyJet checked baggage policy, including checked bag sizes, weights and associated fees.

easyJet hand luggage allowance

Each passenger can bring a small cabin bag (maximum size 45 x 36 x 20cm) on-board when travelling with easyJet with no weight limit.  It includes items like a small trolley case, handbag, rucksack and laptop bag. There is no weight limit on small cabin baggage.

Passengers who have booked with  an Up Front or Extra Legroom seat or paid to add a large cabin bag to their booking can also bring on board a large cabin bag. The easyJet large cabin bag  size is 56 x 45 x 25 cm including the wheels and any handles.

Additionally, you will have to check the extra bags if you bring more than the allowed amount of luggage and pay the easyJet airport hold luggage fee of $50/45€/£40 for each item at the check-in desk.

If you reach the boarding gate with too many carry-ons, the price increases to $63/56€/£50 per extra item.

Infants and children that do not have their own seat and travel on their parent’s lap do not have a hand luggage allowance, so their items must be stored in the adult’s baggage.



Liquids in hand luggage on easyJet

There are several rules regarding what can be included in your easyJet cabin bag and what should be left at home.

Keep in mind that the word “liquid” encompasses a broader meaning than you might first think. For instance, lipsticks, hand creams, and deodorants are also considered liquids.

easyJet’s Liquid Rules:

  • The liquid must be in a container that has a volume no larger than 100 ml.
  • Larger containers are not permitted even if they are nearly empty.
  • All liquid containers must be stored in a 1 litre size transparent plastic bag.
  • The bag must be able to zip shut and can not exceed 20 x 20 cm.
  • All liquids must be presented at the security check at the airport.
  • You can bring a maximum of 10 containers of 100ml.

easyJet checked baggage allowance

You can purchase checked baggage allowance during online booking. Normal prices for hold luggage are between $10.30-$48.70/8.99€ and 55.99€/£6.99-£42.49 for online bookings and $55/50€/£45 for airport check-in

Each passenger that pays for a checked baggage can bring a maximum of 23 kg with dimensions up to 275 cm (length + width + height). You can buy extra weight in 3kgs units, up to a maximum of 32kg per bag. You can check more than one bag as hold luggage as long as the total weight does not exceed 23 kg. If you’re travelling with another person or group on the same flight and booking, you can pool your total weight allowance.

  • Social distancing rules will apply at the airport and when boarding the plane.
  • A face covering must be worn at all times, including inside the airport and for the duration of the flight.
  • You may be asked to board the plane row by row, depending on your seat number.
  • Once onboard, you will stow your own cabin bag and close the overhead lockers yourself.
  • The food offered onboard will be limited, and there will be no paper menu available.
  • All of easyJet’s aircraft are fitted with HEPA filters, the same as those used in hospitals.
  • The cabins are all disinfected daily.
