EasyJet baggage rules: What size hand luggage can I take and what is the checked bags allowance?
GETTING everything into your suitcase can be a nightmare, but it's even worse if you get to the airport and it turns out that you've packed too much.

What size luggage can I take on an EasyJet flight?
EasyJet's website has all the information that passengers need to know about what can and can't be taken on board a flight.
This includes the size of luggage and a guideline of prices - including any additional costs.
You need to check this ahead of travelling to the airport so you know you are within the limit.

When travelling on an easyJet flight, all passengers can take one small cabin bag per person on board - and it's free to do so.
It can be a maximum size of 45 x 36 x 20 cm (including any handles and wheels) and must be kept under the seat in front of you.
If it is bigger than this, you may be charged extra and the bag will be placed in the hold.
Your bag can weigh up to 15kg, but easyJet do ask that you’re able to lift and carry the luggage yourself.
As well as a small cabin bag, passengers also have the option to bring a large cabin bag on board.
Customers who have paid to add a large cabin bag to their booking or are an easyJet Plus Member can bring a larger cabin bag on the flight.
