Checked baggage
easyJet sells the hold bag by weight: you pick 15 kg or 23 kg and add more in 3 kg steps online. Everyone can take up to three bags, none over 32 kg, and a group on one booking can pool the whole allowance across their bags.
| Cabin | First bag | Second bag | Max weight per bag | Max size |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | From £6.99-£42.99 | From £6.99-£42.99 | 15 kg | 275 cm |
| Flexi | Included | From £6.99-£42.99 | 23 kg | 275 cm |
Standard: Up to 3 hold bags per passenger. Weight in 3 kg increments up to 32 kg.
Flexi: 1 hold bag included with Flexi fare. Weight pooling allowed on same booking. Allowances change by route, fare family and booking date, so confirm on the official EasyJet baggage page before you pack.
Excess baggage fees
What hold luggage costs on top of the fare. easyJet prices by weight rather than by piece.
| Situation | What you pay | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Extra weight online | Sold in 3 kg steps | Added through Manage Bookings until two hours before departure |
| Bag drop at the airport | £60 | Always dearer than adding the same bag online |
| Pooling weight across a booking | Free | Everyone on one booking shares a total, but sports equipment stays separate |
No single bag may weigh more than 32 kg, whatever you have paid for. Split the weight before you reach the desk.
Before you pack
Six habits that keep you out of the excess baggage queue.
- Weigh bags at homeA luggage scale costs less than a single overweight bag fee, and it settles the argument at home rather than at the counter.
- Prepay extra weight onlineBuying through easyjet.com is 10 to 20 percent cheaper than paying at the counter.
- Wear the heavy itemsBoots, coats and jackets on your body do not count toward any limit.
- Use compression bagsVacuum bags cut clothing volume by up to 75 percent, which helps with the 275 cm size rule.
- Check your credit card perksSome premium cards include extra baggage or refund fees on selected airlines.
- Check your loyalty statusFrequent flyer tiers often add extra weight or an extra bag on top of the fare allowance.
Sports equipment, instruments and infants
Special items travel with conditions. Every one of them needs advance reservation, and acceptance at the airport is not guaranteed without it.
| Item | Conditions |
|---|---|
| Sports equipment (small, 20 kg) | Golf clubs, skis, snowboards, diving gear |
| Sports equipment (large, 32 kg) | Bicycles, canoes, surfboards, hang gliders |
| Musical instruments | Cabin if ≤30x117x38 cm; or purchase extra seat (max 75 kg) |
No pets allowed except certified assistance dogs
Book special items online before travel. Airport prices are higher than the same allowance bought online, and hold space is first come, first served.
Check-in and bag drop deadlines
Counted back from scheduled departure. Miss the bag drop cut-off and the bag does not fly, even if you do.
EasyJet sets its check-in and bag drop deadlines by airport rather than publishing one timeline. Check the times on your booking, and allow longer if you have bags to drop.
If your bag does not arrive
Delayed and damaged bags follow a strict clock. Most claims fail because the report was made after leaving the airport.
Report before you leave the hall
Go to the EasyJet baggage services desk in the arrivals baggage hall. You get a Property Irregularity Report (PIR) with a 10 character reference. Without it there is no claim.
Track with the PIR reference
Use the reference and your surname on the EasyJet baggage tracing page. Most delayed bags arrive within 48 hours and are delivered to your address free of charge.
Keep receipts, mind the deadlines
Essentials bought while the bag is missing can be claimed. Damage must be reported within 7 days, delayed bag expenses within 21 days of delivery, under the Montreal Convention.
