Jet2 hand luggage allowance
Free 10 kg cabin bag on every fare — one of the most generous low-cost allowances.
Jet2 is the outlier among UK low-cost airlines — every fare includes a free 10 kg cabin bag at 56 × 45 × 25 cm for the overhead locker, plus a small under-seat item at 40 × 30 × 20 cm. Overweight or oversized cabin bags can be placed in the hold at the gate for a fee, so measure and weigh before you fly.
The rules
- Every ticket includes 1 free cabin bag up to 56 × 45 × 25 cm and 10 kg for the overhead locker.
- You can also bring 1 small under-seat item up to 40 × 30 × 20 cm — handbag, laptop bag or small backpack.
- Cabin bags over 10 kg or oversize may be checked into the hold at the gate, and gate charges cost more than pre-booking.
- On very busy flights a compliant cabin bag can still be placed in the hold, free of charge, at the gate.
- Checked luggage (22 kg) is added when booking — prices vary by route and season.
