Jet2 Personal Item Size (2026)

Jet2’s free personal item is the small under-seat bag 40×30×20 cm, plus a free 10 kg cabin bag 56×45×25. Weight for under-seat not published. Verified 2026-09-17.

Quick answer

Jet2’s free “personal item” is the small under-seat bag: max 40 × 30 × 20 cm, must sit under the seat in front of you. Official examples: handbag, laptop bag, or airport purchase. It is free on every Jet2.com flight and Jet2holidays, in addition to the free 10 kg hand luggage (56 × 45 × 25 cm including wheels and handles). Jet2 does not publish a weight limit for the under-seat bag (fees FAQ shows –), so measure to the size box and keep it light enough to stash cleanly. Pack valuables here if Jet2 gate-tags the 10 kg bag to the hold on a busy flight, or buy Guaranteed Cabin Luggage and confirm the live price when you book.

Wheels/handles on under-seat: Official under-seat copy states 40 × 30 × 20 without a separate “including wheels and handles” clause (that clause is attached to the 56 × 45 × 25 hand luggage). Measure the packed bag to the published box.

Free vs paid

Booking type This under-seat bag Hand luggage 56×45×25 / 10 kg Hold
Jet2.com flight-only Free Free Paid 22 kg bags

Guaranteed Cabin Luggage Still free / still size-capped Protects the 10 kg bag’s cabin place n/a

There is no paid upgrade that enlarges this under-seat bag. Money buys hold bags or Guaranteed Cabin Luggage (for the trolley), not a bigger personal item.
Unlike easyJet Standard / Ryanair without Priority: Jet2 already includes the overhead-size bag. This leaf is the second free cabin piece.

Light / Essential: Not published for Jet2. Under-seat rights are standard.

Gotchas

  1. This is not the 56 × 45 × 25 trolley. That bag is also free, separately.
  2. 40 × 30 × 20. Do not confuse with BA’s 40 × 30 × 15.
  3. No official under-seat kg (fees table –). Stick to the size box.
  4. Soft bags expand. Measure packed.
  5. Airport purchase still must fit 40 × 30 × 20 if used as the under-seat piece.
  6. Busy flight: 10 kg bag may go hold. Keep meds, docs, valuables, and spare lithium in this bag.
  7. Infant does not get a separate published personal item.
  8. Extra hand baggage beyond allowance → £45 / €55 (fees leaf).
  9. easyJet’s free bag is 45 × 36 × 20 (different airline).
  10. Ryanair’s free bag is 40 × 30 × 20 under Priority rules that differ; do not mix fare logic.

Traveler caution: Jet2 already gives you the big cabin bag free. The 40 × 30 × 20 under-seat bag is your second free piece, ideal for laptop, meds, and anything you refuse to see tagged for the hold. Jet2 does not publish an under-seat kg limit, so measure to the box.

  • VERIFY: Whether any Jet2 UI string uses “personal item” vs only “small under-seat bag.”
  • VERIFY: Any unpublished under-seat weight guidance beyond fees table – (Terms §17 also omits a kg for the small item).
  • VERIFY: Terms §17 dual stowage (overhead or under seat) vs marketing under seat only — Writing should lead under-seat; mention Terms overhead option only if space needed.
  • VERIFY: Restricted-seat under-seat stowage — not stated on Jet2 Hand Luggage FAQ (unlike easyJet); do not invent.

FAQ

What is the Jet2 personal item size?
Official: small under-seat bag / Personal Item (Under Seat Only), max 40 × 30 × 20 cm, under the seat. Free. Weight not published on the fees table (opened 2026-09-17).

Can I bring a personal item and a cabin bag on Jet2?
Yes. Free 10 kg hand luggage 56 × 45 × 25 cm (wheels/handles in) plus this under-seat bag.

Does Jet2 allow a backpack as a personal item?
Only if it fits 40 × 30 × 20 cm and goes under the seat. Official examples emphasise handbag / laptop bag / airport purchase; dimensions still rule.

Is there a weight limit for the Jet2 under-seat bag?
Not published on the official fees table (shows –). Jet2 does not state an under-seat kg. The 10 kg cap applies to the hand luggage / Large Cabin Bag, not to a stated under-seat kg.

What happens if my under-seat bag is too big?
Oversized / extra hand baggage can attract the airport/gate fee £45 / €55 (fees FAQ) and may need to travel as hold. Measure before you fly.

Do infants get a Jet2 personal item?
Infant hand baggage forms part of the adult’s hand baggage allowance (Hand Luggage FAQ). Free pushchair/car seat/etc. are hold equipment items, not an extra under-seat personal item.
