easyJet Baggage Fees (2026)
Quick summary
easyJet gives every passenger one free small cabin bag (45 x 36 x 20 cm) that must fit under the seat — but a larger overhead cabin bag and all hold luggage are paid extras. A bigger cabin bag comes free only with Up Front / Extra Legroom seats, easyJet Plus, or Inclusive fares; otherwise you buy it from a few pounds. Hold bags start cheap online but un-booked bags brought to the gate cost £48 each, so it pays to pre-book everything. Fees are in GBP (or local currency such as EUR depending on departure airport).

How to avoid extra fees
- The free small cabin bag is 45 x 36 x 20 cm — slightly bigger than Ryanair's, but still must slide under the seat. Measure before you fly.
- Buy any large cabin bag or hold bag online at booking; bringing an un-booked bag to the gate costs a flat £48.
- Hold bags are cheapest when added at booking and get pricier closer to departure and at the airport.
- If you reliably check a bag, compare the FLEXI fare — it bundles a 23kg hold bag plus free date changes and can work out cheaper.
- Excess weight is £12/kg at the airport, so weigh your bag at home and pre-buy extra weight in 3kg blocks if needed.
