You can also take portable medical equipment as long as they are no larger than 56x45x25cm.

Travelling with Children

These allowances apply to any children older than 14 days to 15 years old

Travelling With Children Under 2 Years Old

If you have a child sitting on your lap (allowed up until they are 2 years old) you can take an extra cabin bag – a changing bag.

This must be no larger than 45cm high x 36cm wide x 20cm deep.

Baggage Allowances Easyjet

Travelling with Children 2-5 Years Old

Children over 2 years old must have their own seat booking on an Easyjet flight.

As they have their own seat they also have their own included seat luggage allowance of 1 x 45x36x20cm underseat bag.

For children 2-5 in their own seat there is an allowance of an additional changing bag which must be no more than 45x36x20cm.

There is no additional charge for this changing bag.

You can find all the rules for travelling with children on the Easyjet website

Baggage Allowance Easyjet

Musical Instruments Allowances

If your musical instrument is smaller than 45x36x20cm you can take it in instead of your underseat (included) bag/case.

It must fit under the seat in front of you.

If your musical instrument is larger than 45x36x20cm but smaller than 30cmx117x38cm then you need to book 1 extra piece of cabin luggage and take your instrument in place of this.

It must fit in the overhead locker.

Instruments Larger Than 30cmx117x38cm

These can travel as cabin luggage but only by booking an extra seat.

Before you book a seat you need to check the size requirements and restrictions. You can find these on the Easyjet website. This includes maximum width, height above the seat etc.

The dimensions apply to the overall size of the instrument case, not the instrument itself.

To add the musical instrument to your booking you add another person and then put their name as ‘Mr Musical Instrument’ – yes really!

Don’t assume that because you are booking an extra seat you get to bring an extra underseat bag/case – you don’t.

Baggage Allowance on Easyjet for Plus Members

All Easyjet Plus members can take an additional cabin bag (56cmx45cmx25cm) for no extra cost.

Overhead locker space is not guaranteed so this may need to be checked in depending on how busy the flight is.

Baggage Allowance Easyjet

Airport Shopping Bag Allowance

In addition to your cabin baggage allowances and any extra cabin baggage you have purchased, you are also allowed 1 bag of airport shopping on the plane.

Some forums and sites have advised that travellers have taken an empty bag with them and used it as an extra luggage allowance i.e. they haven’t purchased anything at the airport.

My advice would be not to do that.

Easyjet could ask to see the receipt to prove that you purchased the items in the airport that day and if you can’t produce it you have just landed yourself with a checked bag charge.

If you are taking an underseat bag or case with you your shopping bag will have to be stowed in the overhead locker and a shopping bag from the airport isn’t that secure.

That said there is no rule about buying something small at the airport and asking for a slightly larger bag if you have something that you cannot squeeze into your cabin bag allowance.

My advice is to be reasonable. Don’t buy a bar of chocolate and ask for a huge bag and fill it full of other items.

Baggage Allowance on Easyjet

No Personal Item on Easyjet

Many airlines allow customers to take a personal item onboard, as well as any cabin luggage they are allowed or have added to their flight booking.

There is no personal item allowance on Easyjet.

Easyjet gate staff are usually pretty strict at the gate. Make sure that your luggage can accommodate all the items you are travelling with, including any handbags and laptops for example, otherwise, you will have to check it in.

This is very expensive to do when at the gate.
