What happens if hand luggage is too big?

Jet2 passengers are allowed to travel with one piece of cabin luggage, with maximum dimensions of 22 x 17.5 x 10 inches and no more than 22 pounds. If your luggage exceeds this limit, you may have to pay additional charges.

Please check their website before traveling 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 your hand luggage fits within the airline's size restrictions of 22 x 17.5 x 10 inches, 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, like 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 make sure the total dimensions, including any wheels, handles, or external pockets, do not exceed 22 x 17.5 x 10 inches. This is the maximum size for cabin luggage to comply with Jet2's rules. It's essential to take the wheels into account when figuring out if your bag fits within the required dimensions.

Please check their website to make sure your luggage matches their latest baggage allowance policy before traveling.
