What is the carry-on size for easyJet?

Your cabin bag allowance is one small cabin bag (max. 45 x 36 x 20 cm), which needs to kept under the seat in front of you. If you are an easyJet Plus member or have booked a FLEXI fare you can also bring a large cabin bag (max 56 x 45 x 25 cm) with you, subject to space on board your flight.



easyJet’s baggage policy is very specific and depends heavily on the type of fare you have purchased. Every passenger is entitled to bring one small cabin bag (such as a rucksack or laptop bag) for free, with a maximum size of 45 x 36 x 20 cm (including any handles and wheels). This bag must be able to fit under the seat in front of you. If you wish to bring a large cabin bag (maximum size 56 x 45 x 25 cm, also including handles and wheels), you must either book a "Large Cabin Bag" allowance, have an easyJet Plus membership, or be traveling on a FLEXI fare. For these larger bags, the weight limit is a generous 15kg, but you must be able to lift the bag into the overhead locker yourself. It is critical to measure your bags accurately before arriving at the airport; easyJet is notoriously strict, and if your small bag exceeds the 45 x 36 x 20 cm limit at the gate, you will be charged a significant fee (often around £40-£50) to have it placed in the hold. To avoid these "airport prices," it is always more cost-effective to pre-purchase any additional baggage allowance during the online booking or check-in process on the easyJet mobile app or website.
