easyJet Cabin Bag Size (2026)

easyJet's free small cabin bag is 45 × 36 × 20 cm (15 kg), under the seat. A large 56 × 45 × 25 cm bag needs Inclusive Plus, Smart Plus, Plus or a paid add-on.

Quick answer

On easyJet, every customer gets one small under-seat cabin bag free: max 45 × 36 × 20 cm including any handles and wheels, must fit under the seat, max 15 kg, lift and carry yourself. A large cabin bag (max 56 × 45 × 25 cm including handles and wheels, 15 kg, overhead) is not on Standard. Add it online (price varies by route, date and demand), or get it with Inclusive Plus, Smart Plus or easyJet Plus (add the large bag to the booking and enter your membership number for free). Paid or included large cabin bag also includes Speedy Boarding. At the boarding gate, bringing a large cabin bag without entitlement costs £60 and it goes in the hold. Max cabin pieces per person: two (one small and one large when entitled). Check current prices on easyjet.com before you fly.

Converted inches (easyJet does not publish inches): 45 × 36 × 20 cm is about 17.7 × 14.2 × 7.9 in; 56 × 45 × 25 cm is about 22.0 × 17.7 × 9.8 in.

Wheels and handles: yes, the size includes any handles and wheels on both the small and large bag (easyJet’s cabin bags page).

Sizer or gauge: bags must fit the baggage gauge, and sizes are checked before boarding. The iOS app bag sizing tool is only a guide; a tape measure is the real test (cabin bags page).

Standard trap: Standard means under-seat bag only. The overhead trolley is paid or comes in a bundle (Inclusive Plus, Smart Plus or Plus).
Up Front trap (older advice): booking Up Front or Extra Legroom no longer automatically includes the large cabin bag. Make sure the large bag shows on the booking or boarding pass.
Plus and Inclusive Plus space caveat: if you haven’t added the large bag in advance (Plus) or the lockers are full, the large bag may go in the hold for free. Keep valuables in the small bag.

Availability: Limited large cabin bags per flight; book early. If they sell out, hold bag options (such as 15 kg) apply (details on our easyJet baggage fees page).

Gotchas

  • Standard does not include a trolley. Free bag is 45 × 36 × 20 under the seat only.

  • Wheels and handles count on both sizes.

  • 15 kg on small and large. Older “unlimited cabin weight” reports are out of date.

  • Up Front and Extra Legroom no longer include a free large bag. It is a standalone product.

  • An automatically given Up Front seat still means small bag only.

  • At the gate without the entitlement: £60, and the bag goes in the hold.

  • Plus and Inclusive Plus: add the large bag in advance when you can; otherwise it depends on space.

  • Speedy Boarding comes with the large bag, Smart Plus, Inclusive Plus or Plus. It isn’t sold alone.

  • Restricted seats: small bags may need to go overhead for takeoff and landing (FAQs).

  • Partner and connecting flights sold by easyJet may differ. Use the operating airline’s rules on your itinerary.

  • Online large cabin bag prices vary by route and date on the Fees and Charges page. This cabin page publishes the £60 gate fee; check any online “from £” starting price on easyjet.com for your booking.

Traveler caution: On Standard you get the under-seat bag only. The 56×45×25 trolley is Inclusive Plus, Smart Plus, easyJet Plus, or a paid add-on, not “because I picked Up Front.” Confirm sizes and online fees on easyjet.com before you fly.

FAQ

What is the easyJet cabin bag size?
Free for everyone: one small cabin bag max 45 × 36 × 20 cm including handles and wheels, under the seat, 15 kg, lift yourself. Large cabin bag, optional or included in your fare: 56 × 45 × 25 cm including handles and wheels, 15 kg, overhead. Source: the official easyJet cabin bags page.

Does easyJet Standard include a large cabin bag or carry-on trolley?
No. Standard is the flight plus the small under-seat bag. Large cabin bag is an add-on, or included on Inclusive Plus, Smart Plus or easyJet Plus.

Does buying an Up Front or Extra Legroom seat get me a free large cabin bag?
Not automatically. easyJet sells the large cabin bag as a standalone option. Cabin bags help: if you are automatically given an Up Front or Extra Legroom seat, you still get one small under-seat bag. Check the booking for a large cabin bag product.

How much is an easyJet large cabin bag?
Online: fees vary by route, flight, demand, and when you book. Price shown when you buy, in Manage Bookings or in the app. Boarding gate without entitlement: £60 (cabin goes to hold). Treat old “from £5.99” headlines with caution unless Fees and Charges still shows a starting price. Check current prices on easyjet.com.

I have easyJet Plus or Inclusive Plus. Is the large bag guaranteed onboard?
Best: add the large cabin bag to the booking (free for Plus members with a membership number). If you only show your card or boarding pass without adding the bag in advance, or lockers are full, easyJet says the large bag may go in the hold for free. Pack valuables in the small bag.

Is there an easyJet cabin bag weight limit?
Yes: 15 kg for the small bag and 15 kg for the large bag, plus you must lift and carry each yourself (easyJet cabin bags page).
