Jet2 Baggage Fees (2026)
Quick summary
Jet2 is a UK leisure airline whose stand-out perk is a genuinely generous free 10 kg hand luggage allowance on every fare — but flight-only bookings still need to pay for hold (checked) baggage as an add-on.
At a glance
🎒 Personal item
On top of your hand luggage you may bring one small under-seat item such as a handbag or laptop bag, as long as it fits under the seat in front of you.
🧳 Carry-on
Generous free allowance: one piece of hand luggage up to 10 kg and max 56 x 45 x 25 cm (including wheels and handles) is included for every passenger at no charge — notably more generous than most low-cost rivals.

How to avoid extra fees
- Take advantage of the free 10 kg hand luggage — many travelers can avoid paid hold baggage entirely on a short trip.
- Book hold baggage online: it starts from around GBP 10 each way versus GBP 45 if you pay at the airport.
- Jet2holidays package bookings already include a 22 kg hold bag, so do not pay for it twice if you booked a package.
