Jet2 Airlines is implementing stricter rules regarding hand luggage size and weight, warning passengers to be mindful of their baggage allowance to avoid additional fees.
Jet2 has issued a warning to its customers, urging them to carefully examine their hand luggage before departure as the airline strengthens its baggage enforcement policies. Passengers traveling with Jet2 may face additional fees at the airport if their carry-on luggage does not comply with the airline's size and weight restrictions.
Effective from 2025, Jet2 permits one free piece of carry-on luggage weighing up to 10kg and measuring no larger than 56cm x 45cm x 25cm, including wheels and handles. Additionally, a small personal item, such as a laptop bag or handbag, is allowed as long as it fits under the seat in front of the passenger.Any carry-on luggage that exceeds these dimensions or weight limits will be subject to charges at the check-in counter. Attempts to circumvent these rules by concealing oversized items or overpacking will be unsuccessful, as Jet2 explicitly states on its website that non-compliant hand luggage will be moved to the aircraft hold. Passengers have the option to purchase additional baggage allowance for up to three bags, each weighing 22kg (excluding infants). However, exceeding the weight allowance for checked or carry-on bags will result in significant penalties. Jet2 charges £12 per kilogram for any excess weight. For instance, a suitcase exceeding the weight limit by just 3kg could incur a hefty £36 fee, highlighting the importance of packing light to avoid unexpected expenses. A Jet2 spokesperson emphasized the need for passengers to review their baggage allowance before travel and to factor in potential fees for additional bags. They also advised travelers to keep valuables and essential items with them in the cabin in case their checked baggage needs to be moved to the aircraft hold due to operational or capacity reasons. The spokesperson reminded passengers of the airline's strict policy against consuming alcohol purchased at the airport during the flight
