Sizes from Which?, July 2026. Airlines change these numbers without much notice, so check easyJet's own website before you fly.
The size
Every easyJet fare includes one free under-seat bag of 45 × 36 × 20cm. A larger cabin bag of 56 × 45 × 25cm for the overhead locker is a paid extra.
If your under-seat bag has wheels or a handle, measure with them on. The sizer at the gate does.
How to pack a weekend into it
- Wear the bulky things. Your heaviest shoes and your jacket go on you, not in the bag.
- One flat pair of shoes goes in first, along the bottom, soles facing out.
- Roll the soft clothes (t-shirts, underwear, a jumper) and pack them tightly around the shoes. Fold anything that creases, and lay it on top.
- Liquids in one clear pouch, on top, so you can lift it out at security without unpacking. Check your departure airport's liquids rules, because they are not the same everywhere in the UK.
- Measure the packed bag at home. A soft bag that matched the size when empty can bulge past it when full.
For two or three days that is usually enough: two tops a day at most, one pair of trousers or a skirt for every two days, and a layer for the evening.
Our bags at exactly 45 × 36 × 20cm
- Kono 32L Large Cabin Backpack with 17.3-inch Laptop Compartment, £49.99. Soft, so it forgives a little overpacking, and it takes a large laptop.
- Kono 16-inch ABS Under-Seat Suitcase with Spinner Wheels, £64.99. Hard shell, so it will not squeeze, but it will not bulge either.
Both match easyJet's free size exactly and are too big for Ryanair's free bag. Our Ryanair guide lists the smaller 40 × 30 × 20cm bags, and every one of those also fits inside easyJet's free size.
Small things that help
- A roll-up toiletry organiser (£19.99) keeps the non-liquid bits flat and hangs up where a hotel bathroom has no shelf.
- Our measurements are the manufacturer's, and every product page says so. If a bag arrives and does not match its page, tell us.
Delivery to England, Wales and Scotland is £4.99, and free over £50. New customers can use NAMLO10 for 10% off a first order of £25 or more until 31 October 2026.
