More on easyJet baggage

What is easyJet's free cabin bag size?

Every easyJet fare includes one small cabin bag up to 45 × 36 × 20 cm (incl. wheels and handles), max 15 kg, that must fit under the seat in front of you. This is your free allowance on the cheapest fares — there's no separate personal item on top of it.

How do I get a bigger cabin bag on easyJet?

The large cabin bag (56 × 45 × 25 cm) that goes in the overhead locker is included only with Up Front, Extra Legroom, FLEXI or Plus fares. On a standard fare it's a paid add-on — and it's noticeably cheaper booked online in advance than added at the airport or gate.

How much is a hold (checked) bag on easyJet?

Hold bags (23 kg, up to a 32 kg maximum) are priced by route, season and how early you book — there's no single flat fee. Always add it online when you book or in Manage Bookings; buying at the bag drop or gate costs significantly more.

What happens if my bag is too big at the easyJet gate?

If your cabin bag doesn't fit easyJet's free-bag sizer, you'll pay a gate bag fee (much higher than an online hold bag) and it'll usually be placed in the hold. Measure your bag to 45 × 36 × 20 cm including wheels and handles to be safe.

easyJet vs Ryanair cabin baggage — how do they compare?

Both give only a small free under-seat bag on the cheapest fares. easyJet's free bag (45 × 36 × 20 cm, 15 kg) is a little larger and heavier than Ryanair's free bag (40 × 20 × 25 cm). On both, a full-size overhead cabin bag is a paid upgrade or a higher fare.

Questions

Are these baggage fees accurate?

They're each airline's published Economy figures, verified 2026-06. Baggage fees change often — US carriers all raised checked-bag fees in April–May 2026 — so always confirm with your airline before you fly. Fees also vary by route, fare type and when you buy.

Why is the carry-on weight sometimes blank?

Most US carriers don't actively weigh carry-ons, so no limit is shown. European, Gulf and Asian carriers do enforce a cabin weight (often 7–12 kg) — that's shown when it applies.
