Jet2's hand luggage policy allows certain passengers to bring an extra 10kg cabin bag onboard at no extra cost
Jet2 passengers can obtain extra cabin bag allowance under two specific circumstances. The package holiday operator is amongst the more accommodating regarding baggage allowance. Travellers can take one large cabin bag weighing up to 10kg and one small personal item which must fit beneath the seat.
Should the bag exceed size or weight limits, you could face a £45 charge per item at the airport to check it into the hold. Excess baggage incurs a fee of £12 per kg. While these charges may seem fair, a little additional allowance at no cost wouldn't hurt. Do you have a travel story to share?
Email webtravel@reachplc.com When making a Jet2 wedding booking, travellers receive an additional cabin bag at no extra cost. The company's policy explains: 'As part of your Jet2Weddings booking, you'll receive free Guaranteed Cabin Luggage, which means you can carry your wedding dress with you as hand luggage and be certain of keeping it with you. This would need to have a maximum weight of 10kg and be no larger than 56cm x 45cm x 25cm, including any wheels and handles.
' Jet2 also permits certain other travellers to bring an extra bag aboard, though it's more a medical requirement than a loophole. 'Medical equipment can be brought onboard, in addition to your standard hand luggage allowance, but it must be no larger than 56 x 45 x 25cm, otherwise it will have to be placed in the hold,' the Jet2 website explains.
'Small portable medical devices, such as CPAP machines, TENS machines, nebulisers, and portable dialysis machines, may be carried in addition to your standard hand luggage allowance as long as it's no larger than 56 x 45 x 25 cm and you have informed our Assisted Travel Team at least 48 hours before your flight. 'If you're carrying non-essential medical equipment that exceeds your hand luggage allowance, it'll be subject to our standard baggage policy and may need to be placed in the hold.
For multiple medical devices or large medical equipment, please contact our Assisted Travel team at least 48 hours before your flight for further assistance and guidance.
