Bag Allowance
Every passenger can bring one small under seat cabin bag per person on board for free.
The cabin bag needs to be a maximum size of 45 x 36 x 20 cm (including any handles and wheels) and must be kept under the seat in front of you. That should be enough to bring all the essentials for your journey or for a short trip. Your bag can weigh up to 15kg, but we do ask that you’re able to lift and carry it yourself.
If you’d also like to bring a large cabin bag on board (max. 56 x 45 x 25 cm, including any handles and wheels), you have the option to book a large cabin bag for your flight.
If you’re an JetConnect Gold member, you can also bring a large cabin bag on board (in addition to your small cabin bag) as part of your membership or fare benefits. See below for full details.
Please note that the maximum number of cabin bags available per person is two; one small cabin bag for all customers and one large cabin bag for customers if it’s included with their fare or membership benefits or where they have paid to add one to their booking.
Please note – paying for all your bag allowance online is cheaper and will help you avoid paying bag fees at the airport.

FAQs
How can you bring a large cabin bag on board
When you book a flight with us, you’ll be offered the option to choose a fare which includes a large cabin bag or you can add one to your booking separately.
Any fare or cabin bag booking that enables you to bring a large cabin bag on board also entitles you to JetQuick Boarding, so you can be one of the first to board.
JetConnect Gold Membership customers
JetConnect Gold members can also bring a large cabin bag on board. You can do this free of charge, as one of the benefits of your membership. Add a large cabin bag to your booking and simply enter your JetConnect Gold membership number at checkout to get it for free.
You can also select an Up Front or Extra Legroom seat free of charge as a benefit of your membership.
If you do not book a large cabin bag in advance, your large cabin bag will be subject to available space and if there is no room left on board we will check it into the hold free of charge.
Cabin bag allowances for children and infants
Infants with booked seats and children over 2 years old have the same cabin bag and hold luggage allowance as adults.
If you’re travelling with an infant who will be seated on your lap, an additional baby changing bag is allowed for the infant (max. 45 x 36 x 20 cm) and this needs to fit under the seat in front of you.
Hands Free
To simplify our baggage options we’re no longer offering Hands Free, however we still have a wide range of other bag choices available including a large cabin bag option from £5.99, or hold bags from just £6.99. If you’ve already booked or have a voucher for Hands Free, you can of course still use the service.
