What have you paid for, been allocated?
easyJet are relatively strict and state that unless you pay for a large cabin bag, an upfront seat or an extra legroom seat, you'll be limited to one small bag which must fit underneath the seat in front of you. Your bag must fit in the sizer otherwise you risk having to pay extras at the gate.6 Jan 2022
easyJet hand luggage allowance
Each passenger can bring a small cabin bag (maximum size 45 x 36 x 20cm) on-board when travelling with easyJet with no weight limit. It includes items like a small trolley case, handbag, rucksack and laptop bag. There is no weight limit on small cabin baggage.
Passengers who have booked with an Up Front or Extra Legroom seat or paid to add a large cabin bag to their booking can also bring on board a large cabin bag. The easyJet large cabin bag size is 56 x 45 x 25 cm including the wheels and any handles.
Additionally, you will have to check the extra bags if you bring more than the allowed amount of luggage and pay the easyJet airport hold luggage fee of $50/45€/£40 for each item at the check-in desk.
If you reach the boarding gate with too many carry-ons, the price increases to $63/56€/£50 per extra item.
Infants and children that do not have their own seat and travel on their parent’s lap do not have a hand luggage allowance, so their items must be stored in the adult’s baggage.
Does checking-in online make a difference?
If you’re risking it with a slightly over-sized bag, then checking in online absolutely makes a difference.
By doing so you’re more likely to get through the gate before boarding.
By not checking-in online, you give yourself a better chance of being asked questions at the easyJet desk!
Besides, you should always check-in online if you plan on taking hand luggage only for your holiday.
This way you’ll have plenty of time to get tackle security and relax in the airport.
