easyJet Personal Item Size (2026)

easyJet’s free “personal item” is officially the small under-seat cabin bag: max 45 × 36 × 20 cm including any handles and wheels, must fit under the seat in front of you, max 15 kg, lift and carry yourself. It is free on every fare, including Standard. Examples on the cabin-bags page include a small trolley case, handbag, rucksack, or laptop bag, if they meet the cm limit. It is not the large cabin bag (56 × 45 × 25 cm); that needs Inclusive Plus, Smart+, easyJet Plus, or a paid add-on. Pack essentials here. On Standard this may be your only cabin piece. Confirm sizes on easyjet.com before you fly.

Wheels/handles: Count toward 45 × 36 × 20 cm.

---

There is no paid upgrade that enlarges this under-seat bag. Money buys the large cabin bag or hold bags.
On Standard, if you skip the large bag, this is your only cabin piece. Pack meds, docs, valuables and chargers here.

1. This is not the 56×45×25 trolley. Standard flyers with a full-size cabin suitcase fail the gauge.
2. Handles and wheels count on the 45 × 36 × 20 box.
3. 15 kg is real. Treat “unlimited cabin weight” blogs as stale.
4. Soft bags expand. Measure packed.
5. Ryanair 40×30×20 is not easyJet. Different airline, different free bag.
6. BA 40×30×15 is not easyJet.
7. Trunki exception is product-specific on the children page, not a general “46 cm is fine.”
8. Airport shopping bag is an extra handheld, not a loophole for a second suitcase.
9. Gate fail → hold + fee (cross-link fees; £60 published for large cabin at gate).
10. Restricted seats may force under-seat items into the locker for take-off/landing. Still your free bag.

Traveler caution: On Standard, the free bag is under the seat: 45 by 36 by 20, wheels in. If it only fits the overhead, you need the large cabin bag product. Confirm on easyjet.com before you fly.

• VERIFY: Restricted-seat list (exit/bulkhead) if Writing wants seat-type examples — FAQs state the rule without a full seat map.

What is the easyJet personal item size?
Official name: small under-seat cabin bag. Max 45 × 36 × 20 cm including any handles and wheels, under the seat, 15 kg, free on every fare (cabin-bags page, opened 2026-09-17).

Does easyJet Standard include only a personal item?
Yes for cabin: Standard is the flight plus this small under-seat bag. The overhead large cabin bag is extra (or Inclusive Plus / Smart+ / Plus).

Can I bring a backpack as my easyJet personal item?
Yes if it fits 45 × 36 × 20 cm including handles/wheels and goes under the seat. Official examples include a rucksack. Dimensions still rule.

Is there a weight limit for the easyJet under-seat bag?
15 kg, and you must lift and carry it yourself.

What happens if my free bag is too big?
easyJet checks sizes before boarding. Over the maximum, or a large bag without entitlement, goes to the hold and charges apply. Fees & Charges / cabin bags cite £60 at the boarding gate for an unentitled large cabin bag. Measure before you travel; buy the large cabin bag or a hold bag online if needed.

Do infants get a personal item?
Lap infant: extra baby changing bag max 45 × 36 × 20 cm under the seat. Infant with own seat / children 2+: same cabin rules as adults (plus changing-bag matrix on the children page).
