One of the most stressful parts of flying is waiting to see if your hand luggage meets your air carrier’s restrictions. Knowing that an overweight or oversized bag can result in hefty and unexpected hold fees at the gate, it is important to be up to date on the latest rules.
On average, fines can range from £20 to £70 or more at the gate, which is a significant sum for a bag that's only a tiny bit too big. It can be hard to contend with when every air carrier has its own limitations. Here, we break down the hand luggage restrictions for the UK’s most popular airlines.
Every BA passenger is entitled to carry one hand bag and one cabin bag free of charge. BA hand bag. Maximum size: 40 x 30 x 15cm (must fit under the seat in front of you). Maximum weight: 23kg. Free with any fare. BA cabin bag. Maximum size: 56 x 45 x 25cm (including handles and wheels).
Any item exceeding these limits will result in additional fees to place your bag in the hold. Every easyJet passenger is entitled to carry a maximum of two cabin bags: one small cabin bag (free of charge) and one large cabin bag (if included in membership and fare benefits or added during booking).
