I have prechecked my hold bag online (15kg) for £33.98. I assume that is for outward and inbound?
Any comments helpful…

Hi Lawson, as we’re not easyJet we can’t 100% confirm but usually the way airlines charge fees is on a per flight basis. Meaning, you would have a cost on the outbound and a cost on the inbound. Since I cannot see your receipt and you have not given any additional information on the confirmation of your payment, I can’t speculate on whether or not this was for one or both flights.
If I were you, I’d read over your confirmation of payment thoroughly or even call easyJet’s customer service to inquire directly with them since they’ll have the most accurate info about your booking.

23kg each, so can 1 person take a bag weighing 15kg and 1 weighing 8kg? So 2 bags total, but not exceeding the 23kg max.
Thanks

Hi Melanie,
Unfortunately, that is not allowed. You are limited to one item up to 23 kgs. Thanks for reading!

Can we cancel one case for our holiday in March as my husband mistakenly added two bags at 23kg? We are only going for one week to Madeira.

Hi Linda,
Unfortunately, easyJet does not usually offer refunds for prepaid luggage, but there is no harm in calling and asking.
Thanks for reading!

Hi Tammy,
Yes, you can pay for your checked luggage at the airport. But keep in mind that easyJet does raise the price a bit for not paying in advance.

Hi Kathy,

My wife booked 1 case for the hold between the 2 of us. We have been charged £60 at the check in as they said it was 6kg over the limit of 22kg.
Is this correct and how do we avoid this on the return as my wife says she is going around in circles on their website?

Hi Colin,
easyJet has 3 purchase options for checked baggage, 15 kgs, 23 kgs, and 32 kgs. Do you know which option your wife purchases? To avoid any other mixups I recommend you contact the easyJet customer service team directly at 011-44-330-365-5454.

EasyJet Hands Free Service
Passengers can pay £7 to drop their carry-on off at the bag drop desk, where it will be tagged as a priority bag to arrive first on the baggage carousel. Passengers can remove a small item (17.7 x 14.2 x 7.9 inches / 45 x 36 x 20 cm) to take on board with them. This option also includes a free tote bag from EasyJet’s partner, Three.
Using this option, can we drop off our carry-on and take a small bag (kids backpack or purse) onto the flight at no charge? In other words, does the small item have to be removed from the cabin bag being dropped off?
Jarrod West
October 09, 2020
Hi Brad,
Yes, you should be permitted to do this and should not be charged extra.

Sorry, I should have said is the £7 fee for hands free on easyJet flights per passenger for return journey or for each trip. Thanks.

I am struggling with the new baggage allowance rules on Easy Jet. By paying the £7 for hands-free am I increasing my baggage allowance to the standard (56x45x25) cabin bag? The new size of 45x36x20 to fit under the seat in front is just too small for my needs and I’m looking for the most economical way take the old standard sized cabin bag. In addition would I still be allowed to take the new 45x36x20 on board with me. Thanks in advance for any info.

Hi Jacqui,
Purchasing hands-free does not increase your baggage allowance. To take a standard carry-on bag (56 x 45 x 25 cm) passengers must purchase FLEXI fare, Up Front, or Extra Legroom. This would allow you to take a carry-on and a personal item into the cabin.

If you sign in to your account on the easyJet website you should be able to view all of those details.

I’m looking to take a box on the outbound flight only, seems I cannot book on one way, called customer service and they couldn’t help me.

So I’ve read we would have to purchase baggage online after booking with easy jet and it could be up to £50 for 15kg. Does anyone know if this is for a return or would it be up to £50 for each case each way?
Jarrod West
July 30, 2021
Hi Shaunie,
The price you pay would be per bag, per way. Safe travels!

Do I need to check in a 15kg bag? or is going with me on board?
Jarrod West
August 11, 2021
Hi Liviu,
If the bag fits the carry-on baggage dimensions then you should be able to carry it on board. Otherwise, you will need to check it. Safe travels!

If the luggage that I have bought is overweight by 4kg how much should I pay at the airport?
Jarrod West
November 19, 2021
Hi Polidon,
You will be charged £12 for each 1kg of excess weight at the airport, so £48 for 4kg.

I have purchased two additional hold luggage cases. Does this mean 1 for the outbound flight and one for the inbound flight?
I just presumed I had purchased two one for me one for my daughter now I’m second guessing myself. Never used easyJet before.
Jarrod West
November 30, 2021
Hi Jacqueline,
I wouldn’t be able to say definitely without seeing the baggage terms posted on your ticket. If you’re uncertain then I recommend you contact the EasyJet customer service team directly. Safe travels!

Hi, we have just booked in online and have printed our boarding passes for our flight to tenerife later this month and on measuring our carry on cases find they are now too big for under seat. Can we still pay the extra to be able to use them?
Jarrod West
March 07, 2022
Hi Julie,
Yes, you should be able to pay an additional fee to bring them on your flight.
Helene Perilli

A person is allowed 23kg so 2 people equals 46kg. If 2 people use one suitcase will they be charged if the case weighs more that 23kg?
Chris Hassan
May 25, 2023
The fee is per bag, so if your bag weighs more than 23kg, you will be charged extra.
