Pack Smart: easyJet’s Guide To Cabin Bags
EasyJet allows all passengers to bring one small cabin bag on board, which is included with your ticket. The bag must fit underneath the seat in front of you and measure no more than 45 x 36 x 20 cm, including any handles and wheels. Your small cabin bag can weigh up to 15 kg, but you must be able to lift and carry it yourself. For short trips or weekend getaways, this may be all the space you need.
If you need a little more room, you can also bring a large cabin bag measuring up to 56 x 45 x 25 cm and weighing up to 15 kg. You can purchase a large cabin bag separately, while easyJet Plus members and passengers travelling on an Inclusive Plus fare may also have a large cabin bag included. Large cabin bags are stored in the overhead locker, and customers who book one also receive Speedy Boarding. The larger cabin bag can measure up to 56 x 45 x 25cm and weigh no more than 15kg. It’s stored in the overhead compartment, so make sure you pack smart!
Tripp's Recommendation:
Our Holiday 8 collection has the perfect cases for each option. The underseat suitcase is designed to fit neatly under the seat in front of you whilst keeping your belongings protected and easily accessible. For a little more room, the cabin case is ideal due to its lightweight and durable design.

Each passenger can buy up to three hold bags, making them a useful option for longer trips or when you need a little more packing space. easyJet offers a 15 kg hold bag and a standard 23 kg hold bag, with additional weight available in 3 kg increments up to a maximum of 32 kg per bag.
Hold luggage prices vary depending on your route, flight and when you add your bag. Booking luggage online before you travel is usually cheaper than adding it at the airport, so check the latest price when making or managing your booking.Tripp's Recommendation:
For those needing maximum space without the extra weight, our Horizon range is your go-to choice. It comes equipped with an integrated TSA lock, dual wheels and zip-around compartment, offering a lightweight yet spacious option that’s perfect for long-haul trips.
Sharing Is Caring: easyJet’s Pooled Luggage
Travelling with family or friends? easyJet makes it easy by allowing you to pool your hold luggage allowance across all passengers on the same booking. This means you can combine the weight of all your bags, giving you flexibility if one bag is slightly over the limit while others are under.
Each passenger can still bring up to three hold bags, but with pooled luggage, you don’t have to worry about perfectly balancing the weight of each individual suitcase. It’s a handy option for group travellers who want to share packing space - and save on excess baggage fees! Just remember that no single bag can weigh more than 32 kg, and each hold bag must measure under 275 cm when its length, width and height are combined
Family-Friendly Travel: easyJet’s Baggage Allowance For Kids
When flying with children, easyJet offers several family-friendly perks to make your journey easier.
Travelling with little ones? Infants travelling on an adult’s lap can bring an additional baby changing bag measuring up to 45 x 36 x 20 cm, which must fit underneath the seat in front.
Infants with their own booked seat and children over two receive the same cabin bag and hold luggage allowance as adults.
For every infant or child, you can also bring up to two additional items of child equipment free of charge. This can include a travel cot, pushchair, buggy, car seat, booster seat or baby back carrier. These can be checked in at Bag Drop or, where needed, used up to the boarding gate before being placed in the hold.Big Adventures: Travelling With Sports Equipment & Special Items
Travelling with sports equipment? easyJet allows you to add a range of sporting equipment to your booking alongside your standard hold luggage. Small sports equipment, such as golf clubs, skis, snowboards and diving equipment, can weigh up to 20 kg. Larger equipment, including bicycles, canoes and surfboards, can weigh up to 32 kg.Musical instruments have separate cabin and hold luggage rules depending on their size, so it is worth checking easyJet’s latest guidance before travelling with larger or more fragile instruments.
