Tips for packing hand luggage

• Stick to weight restrictions: Use a luggage scale to ensure your bag stays under the 10kg limit.

• Choose lightweight bags: Soft-shell or lightweight cabin cases help maximise packing space.

• Pack essentials only: Prioritise items like documents, electronics and a change of clothes in your hand luggage.

• Board early: Overhead storage is limited, so boarding early increases the chance of securing space for your bag.

What happens if hand luggage is too big?

Jet2 passengers are permitted to travel with one piece of cabin luggage, with maximum dimensions of 56cm x 45cm x 25cm and no more than 10kg. If your luggage exceeds this limit, you may incur additional charges.

Please check their website before travelling to avoid paying additional fees.

How is hand luggage size checked?

Jet2 checks hand luggage size at the airport by measuring your bag using a dedicated sizing gauge. This gauge ensures that your hand luggage fits within the airline's specified size restrictions of 56cm x 45cm x 25cm, including handles and wheels.

If your bag exceeds the allowed dimensions, you may be asked to check it in as hold luggage, and additional fees may apply. To avoid this, it’s a good idea to measure your bag at home before heading to the airport.

Additionally, Jet2 allows a small personal item, such as a handbag or laptop bag, which must fit under the seat in front of you.

Does hand luggage size include wheels?

Yes, Jet2's hand luggage size allowance includes the wheels and handles. When measuring your hand luggage, you should ensure that the total dimensions, including any wheels, handles, or external pockets, do not exceed 56cm x 45cm x 25cm. This is the maximum size for cabin luggage to comply with Jet2's rules. It's essential to take the wheels into account when determining if your bag fits within the required dimensions.

Please check their website to ensure your luggage matches their latest baggage allowance policy before travelling.
