easyJet Carry-On 2026: Free Bag up to 45x36x20 cm and the Best Choice
Flying with easyJet? You are in luck: the free small bag at easyJet can be slightly larger than at most budget airlines. Below you will find the complete guide to easyJet hand luggage in 2026 — the exact sizes, the weight and the costs — plus how the right bag lets you travel smart without paying extra.
easyJet carry-on 2026: what can you bring?
Everyone flying easyJet gets one small bag under the seat for free. If you want a larger case in the overhead bin, you book a large cabin bag (or you have a Plus/Up front fare). The rules (as of 2026):
| Type | Maximum size | Weight | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small bag (under the seat) | 45 x 36 x 20 cm | max. 15 kg (you lift it yourself) | Free with every ticket |
| Large cabin bag (overhead bin) | 56 x 45 x 25 cm | max. 15 kg (you lift it yourself) | Paid add-on / Plus |
| Checked baggage | varies | 15–23 kg | Paid add-on |
Correct as of June 2026. easyJet can change its policy — always check the current rules in your booking before you fly.
The free bag at easyJet is roomier: 45 x 36 x 20 cm
Where many airlines apply 40 x 30 x 20 cm, the free bag at easyJet can be 45 x 36 x 20 cm — so a little more room. The maximum weight is 15 kg, and you have to be able to lift the bag yourself and place it under the seat.
A bag like our Lundholm Underseater (40 x 30 x 16 cm) fits well inside that — you even have room to spare. A nice bonus: because it stays within the tighter 40 x 30 x 20 limit, the same bag also works for Ryanair, Wizz Air and Transavia. One bag for all your flights.

When do you need a large cabin bag?
If you want a larger case (up to 56 x 45 x 25 cm) in the overhead bin, you either book it as a paid add-on or it comes with a Plus/Up front fare. For a weekend or city break you can often manage fine with just the roomier free bag — which saves you the surcharge.
Avoid trouble at the gate
easyJet checks whether your bag fits in the sizer. If it does not, it goes into the hold after all — and you pay for it. So choose a bag that stays comfortably within the limit, measure it including handles, and do not overpack. The compression straps on the Underseater pull it tight and compact.
