easyJet is one of the more generous airlines on hand luggage. Here is what you get in 2026 and how to make the most of it.
easyJet's two bag sizes
- Free underseat bag: 45 x 36 x 20 cm, up to 15kg. One of the largest free allowances of any airline, and every passenger gets it.
- Large cabin bag: 56 x 45 x 25 cm for the overhead locker. This needs an Up Front, Extra Legroom or FLEXI fare, or a Plus membership.
What fits the free bag?
At 45 x 36 x 20 cm the free easyJet bag is big enough for a small backpack or holdall, which is unusual. A slim daypack or a compact duffel will go straight under the seat.
Packing for the large cabin allowance
If you have the 56 x 45 x 25 cm allowance, our Vacuum Compression Pack (49 x 32 x 15 cm, opening to 20 cm) fits easily, and its built in pump vacuum compresses a week of clothes into that space so you never touch the hold. For a lighter trip that stays in the free underseat bag, a crossbody sling keeps your phone, cards and passport safe and hands free once you land.
Weigh it before you go
The free bag has a 15kg limit, which is generous, but easyJet can weigh it. Pack heavy items low and check the weight at home rather than at the gate.
