With easyJet, you may bring one small cabin bag onto the plane without paying extra fees. To fit beneath the seat in front of you, its dimensions must not exceed 18 x 14 x 8 inches (45 x 36 x 20 cm), which includes any handles or wheels.

If you’d like to bring a big cabin bag with you, you can purchase an upfront or extra legroom seat; the maximum allowable dimensions are 22 x 18 x 10 inches (56 x 45 x 25 cm). All these measurements can get confusing, so check out this handy guide on packing your carry-on.

easyJet allows you to bring luggage that weighs up to 15kg (33 lbs), and you must be physically capable of handling its weight yourself.

What is the carry-on liquid policy for easyJet?

You may only bring 100 milliliters (3.4 oz) or smaller quantities of liquids, aerosols, and gels to get cleared at security checkpoints. Everything is expected to be contained in a single 8 x 8-inch (20 x 20cm) resealable bag. The maximum volume a passenger may bring through security is 1000 ml (1 quart).

This policy adheres to the Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) liquids in carry-on baggage guidelines. Check this handy reference article for details about everything you can and can’t bring on a plane.

Traveling with infants and carry-on rules for easyJet

Traveling with infants has two options. If the infant is traveling on your lap, you are allowed an additional bag for their items, and the maximum allowable dimensions are 18 x 14 x 8 inches (45 x 36 x 20 cm).

If the infant is traveling in their own seat, they will have the same cabin and hold luggage allowances as adults.

What extra items can you bring on board easyJet flights?

In addition to the allowed number of carry-on bags, you are welcome to bring on board any necessary medical, musical, or sporting equipment. The allowable size of these items depends on your cabin bag allowance, and thus they should not exceed the size restrictions; otherwise, they will be placed in the cargo hold.
