easyJet's help pages set out these allowances. Sizes include handles and wheels.
- Small under-seat cabin bag (all customers): one bag of up to 45 x 36 x 20 cm and up to 15 kg, which must fit under the seat in front. A small trolley case, handbag, rucksack or laptop bag can qualify if it fits.
- Large cabin bag (paid add-on, or included with easyJet Plus and Inclusive Plus): up to 56 x 45 x 25 cm and up to 15 kg, stored in an overhead locker; booking one includes Speedy Boarding. Without a booked large-bag slot, Plus and Inclusive Plus customers' large bags travel subject to space and go in the hold if lockers are full.

- Hold luggage: 15 kg or 23 kg bags can be booked, with extra weight added online in 3 kg steps. No single bag may weigh more than 32 kg, and a booked weight allowance can be shared across the bags on the booking as long as that limit is respected. Each bag must measure under 275 cm in total (length + width + height).
