Does easyJet let you check a bag?

EasyJet passengers can book up to 3 checked bags per person. A standard bag is 23kg, but there is a cheaper alternative with a limit of 15kg (available online only). The maximum total size for any checked bag is 275cm (height + width + length). You can reserve checked baggage online or at the airport.



Yes, easyJet allows you to check bags, though this service is not included in the standard "Basic" fare and requires an additional fee. In 2026, easyJet offers several checked bag weight options to suit different needs, typically starting with a 15kg bag for shorter trips, a standard 23kg bag, and the ability to purchase extra weight in 3kg increments up to a maximum of 32kg per bag. The price for hold luggage varies significantly based on the route, the time of booking, and the season; it is always much cheaper to add these bags online via the easyJet app or website before you arrive at the airport. If you wait until the airport check-in desk or the boarding gate to check a bag, the fees are substantially higher. Each passenger can purchase up to three hold bags in total, ensuring that even those moving house or traveling for long durations have enough capacity for their belongings.
