In 2026, EasyJet’s baggage policy is highly restrictive but does include one small cabin bag for free for every passenger. This bag must fit under the seat in front of you and has a maximum size limit of 45 x 36 x 20 cm (including handles or wheels). There is no weight limit for this free bag, but you must be able to lift and carry it yourself. If you want a "large cabin bag" (up to 56 x 45 x 25 cm) to put in the overhead locker, you must either book a "Large Cabin Bag" allowance, purchase a "Standard Plus" or "FLEXI" fare, or be an EasyJet Plus member. If you arrive at the gate with a bag that exceeds the "under-seat" dimensions and you haven't paid for a larger allowance, EasyJet will charge a "gate-check fee" of approximately £48/€60 and place the bag in the hold. To maximize your "free" allowance, many travelers use soft-sided backpacks that can be slightly compressed to fit the sizing gauge, as the airline has become extremely strict with its "Go/No-Go" metal sizers at the boarding gate.
