Jet2 hand luggage allowance: What you can bring

Understanding Jet2's cabin baggage policy

When you fly with Jet2, you can bring one cabin bag and one personal item free of charge. Your cabin bag must not exceed 56 x 45 x 25cm (including wheels and handles) and must weigh 10kg or under. Personal items are things like handbags or laptop bags, and must fit under the seat in front. It’s important to be aware of the hand luggage restrictions on Jet2 before you fly, to avoid unexpected fees or delays at the airport.

Packing tips for your Jet2 hand luggage

Maximise space and minimise stress

Travel versions of larger items, such as irons and hairdryers, are ideal for maximising hand luggage space as they’re far less bulky than the ones you use at home. Before you pack, check what your accommodation has available as you may find there will be essential electronics and towels waiting for you when you get there.

Miniature toiletries offer another great way to save space while packing. Decant your favourite perfumes, lotions and suncreams into 100ml bottles or tubs to take with you or buy the mini versions available on the high street. Alternatively, buy toiletries at the airport or when you reach your destination to avoid packing them altogether.

Wear any bulkier items you’d like to take with you, such as hiking boots or a floppy sunhat, as these will take up valuable space in your cabin bag. Roll clothes instead of folding them and tuck small items into any shoes you’re packing. This will free up room for other items, including any souvenirs you might be bringing home from your trip.
