Pack Smart: easyJet’s Guide To Cabin Bags
easyJet allows all passengers to bring one small cabin bag on board, which is included in your ticket. This bag must fit neatly under the seat in front of you and have a maximum dimension of 45 x 36 x 20cm. There’s no official weight limit, but it’s important that your bag is easy for you to lift into the overhead locker if needed. For short trips or weekend getaways, this bag may be all you need.
If you need a little more room, easyJet offers the option to bring a larger cabin bag. This can be done by upgrading to Flexi fare or easyJet Plus or by purchasing a large cabin bag allowance separately. The larger cabin bag can measure up to 56 x 45 x 25cm and weigh no more than 15kg. It’s stored in the overhead compartment, so make sure you pack smart!
Tripp's Recommendation:
Our Holiday 8 collection has the perfect cases for each option. The underseat suitcase is designed to fit neatly under the seat in front of you whilst keeping your belongings protected and easily accessible. For a little more room, the cabin case is ideal due to its lightweight and durable design.

Each passenger can buy up to three hold bags, perfect for those who are going on those longer trips. The standard hold luggage allowance is 23kg per bag, but if that’s not enough, you can upgrade in 3kg increments to a maximum of 32kg per suitcase.
Hold luggage fees depend on your destination and luggage weight. If you book online in advance, the prices range from £6.99. Make sure you do so before arriving at the airport, as the fees go up to £55!
Tripp's Recommendation:
For those needing maximum space without the extra weight, our Horizon range is your go-to choice. It comes equipped with an integrated TSA lock, dual wheels and zip-around compartment, offering a lightweight yet spacious option that’s perfect for long-haul trips.
Sharing Is Caring: easyJet’s Pooled Luggage
Travelling with family or friends? easyJet makes it easy by allowing you to pool your hold luggage allowance across all passengers on the same booking. This means you can combine the weight of all your bags, giving you flexibility if one bag is slightly over the limit while others are under.
Each passenger can still bring up to three hold bags, but with pooled luggage, you don’t have to worry about perfectly balancing the weight of each individual suitcase. It’s a handy option for group travellers who want to share packing space - and save on excess baggage fees!
Family-Friendly Travel: easyJet’s Baggage Allowance For Kids
When flying with children, easyJet offers several family-friendly perks to make your journey easier. If you’re travelling with an infant under 2 years old without their own seat, you’re allowed to bring two additional items for free, such as a pushchair, car seat or travel cot. For infants and children with their own seat, they enjoy the same cabin and hold luggage allowances as adults, ensuring you have enough space for all their essentials.

Just remember that these items mustn’t exceed 32kg in weight and should comply with easyJet’s list of restricted and prohibited items.
