Ryanair, easyJet, TUI, BA and Jet2 cabin bag size rules in 2022
As many get used to the idea of Covid restrictions becoming a thing of the past, some will be looking to take advantage of the limited travelling restrictions as well. Brits are always quick to escape the often dreary UK summers to somewhere sunnier like Spain, Greece or Italy.
Thrill seekers may even go to a snowy resort, to practice their skiing or snowboarding. One of the most important parts of preparing for your trip abroad is your luggage and people will want to make sure they are bringing their best summer clothes - or their favourite snow gear - so their holiday can go off without a hitch.
But before people get packing their bags, it's important to be aware of the latest airline baggage information. If they break the current weight allowances, size restrictions, and hand luggage rules they could face a hefty fine. To make everyone's trip easier, here is the latest cabin bag information for Ryanair, EasyJet, TUI, BA and Jet2, from the Liverpool Echo.
Ryanair cabin bag size
All passenger fare types include a small personal bag, which must fit under the seat in front of you. The small personal bag must be a maximum size of 40x20x25cm.
Over-sized cabin baggage will be refused at the boarding gate, or where available, placed in the hold of the aircraft for a fee of €/£69.99. Ryanair recommends checking it in at the bag drop desk before security if you are unsure whether your bag is the correct size.
easyJet cabin bag size
All customers can bring onboard one small cabin bag. This has to be a maximum size of 45 x 36 x 20cm including any handles or wheels.
It includes items like a small trolley case, handbag, rucksack and laptop bag, but they need to fit under the seat in front of you. There is a maximum weight limit of 15kg as you need to be able to lift and carry the bag yourself.
TUI cabin bag size
If you're taking a TUI Airways flight, you can carry one piece of hand luggage of up to 10kg for free. The maximum dimensions of your hand luggage can be 55x40x20cm and you must be able to lift your hand luggage in to the overhead storage compartments yourself.
If your luggage is heavier than your luggage allowance when you check-in for a TUI Airways flight, you’ll need to pay an excess luggage charge.
Excess luggage charges:
Short-haul flights: £13 or €17 per kilogram.
Mid haul flights: £15 or €19 per kilogram.
Long haul flights: £18 or $27 per kilogram.
British Airways cabin bag size
All British Airways passengers are allowed to carry one piece of hand luggage and one small item on board. Hand luggage must not exceed 56x45x25cm and the small item must be no bigger than 40x30x15cm.
Both items can weigh up to 23kg each. If any of your hand baggage is over the size or weight limit, or you have more hand baggage than your allowance, you will need to check it in and it will count towards your checked baggage allowance.
If this then takes you over your free checked baggage allowance, or if you are travelling on hand baggage only (Basic) fare, you will need to pay for extra baggage at the airport rate.
Jet2 cabin bag size
You may carry on board one piece of hand luggage free of charge, as long as it weighs no more than 10kg and is no larger than 56x45x25cm, including any wheels and handles.
If your hand luggage weighs more or is larger than this, it will need to be checked into the aircraft hold, and you may have to pay an additional charge.
