Flying with easyJet soon? Good news: easyJet has one of the most generous free hand luggage allowances among the budget airlines. Every ticket includes a small bag of up to 45 x 36 x 20 cm on board. Here you'll read exactly what the rules are, which bag makes the smartest use of them and how to avoid surcharges at the gate.
Thanks to their supple material, All-time Favourites shoppers work well with easyJet's hand luggage rules. Pack the bag sensibly and you increase your chances of travelling without extra costs.
easyJet hand luggage rules
In short:
- Free with every ticket - maximum 45 x 36 x 20 cm, including handles and wheels. The bag must fit under the seat in front of you.
- Weight - up to 15 kg, as long as you can lift and carry the bag yourself.
- Large bag (paid) - maximum 56 x 45 x 25 cm for the overhead locker. This size is included with certain seats and easyJet Plus.
Doesn't your bag fit in the sizer? Then it can go in the hold for a surcharge. So it pays to measure carefully in advance. Fortunately, with All-time Favourites bags that's not necessary: they're flexible enough to fit within this format.
Why a soft bag is smarter than a hard case
That 45 x 36 x 20 cm is a hard limit for hard-shell cases: if it doesn't fit in the sizer, you have a problem. A soft, flexible bag, on the other hand, gives way. Fill it mainly with clothing, don't cram it too full, and it moulds itself to the sizer, with more than enough room under the seat in front of you. That's why an All-time Favourites shopper makes such a great hand luggage bag. And if the overhead locker is full? Then you can simply keep it at your feet. That rarely works with a trolley.
Which All-time Favourites shopper do you take?
For a city trip or weekend away, the small shopper with zip is ideal: compact, fully closable and with enough room for your essentials. Taking a bit more? Then the large shopper with zip is your best choice; with the press studs you can easily make it more compact when needed. Most important tip: leave some air in the bag so it stays easy to shape. With our packing cubes you keep everything organised.
And with other airlines?
Every airline has its own dimensions. At Ryanair and Transavia, for example, the free small bag is a maximum of 40 x 30 x 20 cm, slightly smaller than at easyJet. Flying out with one and back with the other? Then stick to the strictest size. Want to know more about how our bags fit different airlines' hand luggage rules?
