easyJet Cabin Bag Rules: How to Pack More Into 56x45x25cm

We love travelling on easyJet for their affordable fares and incredible range of destinations. What we don't love? Their expensive baggage fees and restrictive carry-on policies.

Show up at the airport with a standard-sized suitcase, and you could face a costly surprise. That's why, before you fly, you need to understand easyJet's cabin bag rules – and invest in a properly sized 56x45x25cm bag.

At Flight Knight, we know just how small these bags can feel – and how hard they are to pack efficiently. Could we tell you to simply pack less? Sure. But we know you want options. That's why we've compiled our best tips to help you maximise every inch of your easyJet cabin bag.

Current easyJet Baggage Allowances

Standard easyJet passengers are allowed one piece of cabin baggage measuring no more than 56cm x 45cm x 25cm (including handles and wheels). The good news? There's no weight restriction.

Passengers travelling on easyJet Plus, FLEXI, Upfront, or Extra Legroom fares can also bring an additional small bag measuring up to 45cm x 36cm x 20cm.

Exceed these allowances? You'll be charged £37 to check your bag at the gate – a fee that can quickly turn a budget flight into an expensive one.

Flight Knight offers a wide range of hard-shell and soft-sided cabin bags that fit within easyJet's strict policy. [Explore the collection here.]

How to Fit More Into Your easyJet Cabin Bag

Roll Your Clothing

Rolled clothes take up less space than folded ones and actually wrinkle less. Better yet, rolling lets you tuck items into every nook and cranny of your easyJet cabin bag.

Zip First, Then Check for Extra Room

Think you've run out of space? Zip your bag shut and leave it for a few minutes. When you reopen it, you'll often find the compression has magically created extra room.

Use Space-Saving Compression Bags

Compression bags shrink bulky items like jumpers, coats, and towels into compact, space-efficient bundles. For a budget alternative, extra-large freezer bags work surprisingly well.

Try the Bundle Packing Method

Start with a small bundle of your softest, smallest items (socks and underwear). Then wrap successive layers of clothing around the core to create a single, wrinkle-free bundle. This method works brilliantly for dresses and smart trousers.
