How easyJet compares

easyJet's 22 x 17.7 x 9.8 in works out to about 3816 cubic inches (62.5 litres) of cabin allowance, which ranks 4 of 22 among the airlines we have verified, about 29% more than the median carrier.

The same 22 x 17.7 x 9.8 in limit is used by 1 other airline here — British Airways. A bag bought to that spec travels widely, which is exactly why it is the size most luggage is sold in.

2 of the airlines we track allow a larger bag and 18 allow less, so a bag sized to easyJet clears roughly 86% of the carriers here.

Carry-on vs personal item on easyJet

easyJet allows a personal item up to 17.7 x 14.2 x 7.9 in alongside the 22 x 17.7 x 9.8 in carry-on. Only the personal item is free — the overhead bag is charged, so travelling on the under-seat allowance alone is how you fly easyJet without paying for baggage.
