How strict are Jet2 with hand luggage?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you’re booking a Jet2 flight only, you might be wondering how strict they are with hand luggage size and weight.<\/p>\n

Well, it’s a question we\u2019re often asked by our members, and here’s the latest:<\/p>\n

Jet2 are relatively lenient and state <\/strong>that if you’re travelling with hand luggage only, you’ll be allowed to take one main bag on board as well as a smaller personal item. Your main bag<\/strong> must fit in the sizer and so be easily stored in the overhead compartment. Your smaller item must fit under the seat in front of you.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Any medium-sized backpack or holdall will do the trick for your personal item (or anything smaller of course, like a handbag).<\/p>\n

But if you’re looking for a full-size carry on which fits perfectly<\/em><\/strong> within their latest hand luggage limits, we recommend this Maximum Allowance suitcase<\/a><\/strong> on Amazon.<\/p>\n

If you’re booking a Jet2holiday, you’re entitled to more than just hand luggage<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Jet2’s main hand luggage policy<\/strong><\/h3>\n

As one of the nation’s favourite airlines in terms of overall value – Jet2 have a generous main hand luggage allowance as follows:<\/p>\n

\n

56 x 45 x 25 cm (including any wheels or handles) – weighing no more than 10kg<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Jet2’s smaller bag policy<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In addition to your main bag, Jet2 also allow a smaller bag which must fit under the seat in front of you, allowed at the airline\u2019s discretion.<\/p>\n

Examples include a small backpack, handbag, or an airport purchase.<\/p>\n

This therefore leaves you with even more room in your main bag to fit in clothes, toiletries and other essentials you might need for your trip!<\/p>\n

Jet2 hand luggage liquids<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Like most airlines, Jet2 allow you to pack liquids into your hand luggage as long as they are in containers with a volume of no more than 100ml.<\/p>\n

In addition to this, all liquids must be held in a transparent, resealable plastic bag \u2013 with max dimensions of 20 x 20cm.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

My main bag is slightly over-sized, should I risk it?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This is probably the most common question when it comes to Jet2’s hand luggage policy.<\/p>\n

And there’s only one simple answer.<\/p>\n

Rules are rules and if you fail to comply you will run the risk of having to pay extras.<\/p>\n

That’s money that could have been invested in a decent bag for years to come.<\/p>\n

Besides, they actually have a really generous hand luggage allowance, so it’s worth investing in a suitable suitcase for future trips.<\/p>\n

My main bag is slightly overweight, should I risk it?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It\u2019s rare for airlines to investigate the weight<\/a> of your hand luggage.<\/p>\n

That said, it\u2019s worth weighing your main bag just in case – as you should stick within the 10kg wherever possible.<\/p>\n

But don\u2019t worry too much if it\u2019s slightly<\/em> over \u2013 just be prepared to stick on some of your bulky clothing to bring the weight down in the unlikely event you are checked and over the limit!<\/p>\n
