Jet2 provides generous hand luggage allowances, including opportunities for passengers to carry an extra 10kg cabin bag at no additional cost under specific conditions.
Standard Hand Luggage Policy
Passengers may bring one large cabin bag weighing up to 10kg, along with one small personal item that fits under the seat. Bags exceeding size or weight limits incur a £45 fee per item to place in the hold, with excess weight charged at £12 per kilogram.
Free Extra Allowance for Weddings
Travelers booking Jet2Weddings receive complimentary guaranteed cabin luggage. This allows carrying a wedding dress as hand luggage, ensuring it stays with passengers throughout the journey. The bag must weigh no more than 10kg and measure no larger than 56cm x 45cm x 25cm, including wheels and handles.
Medical Equipment Exceptions
Jet2 permits medical equipment in addition to standard hand luggage, provided it fits within 56cm x 45cm x 25cm dimensions. Small portable devices such as CPAP machines, TENS machines, nebulisers, and portable dialysis machines qualify if passengers notify the Assisted Travel Team at least 48 hours before the flight.
Non-essential medical items or those exceeding allowances follow standard baggage rules and may require placement in the hold. For multiple devices or larger equipment, contact the Assisted Travel team in advance for guidance.
Italy Strike Alert for Today
Jet2 has warned passengers of potential disruptions due to strike action by ACC Roma, an Italian air traffic control provider. The action runs from 09:00 to 17:00 local time today, May 11, 2026, and could delay flights to and from Rome, Naples, Pisa, and Venice.
The airline commits to minimizing impacts and urges travelers to arrive at the airport at least two hours before departure, as check-in closes 40 minutes prior to scheduled flights. Passengers may face longer onboard waits, but gates will close on time to enable prompt departures once cleared.
Update contact details in Manage My Booking for any changes, as the team will notify affected customers directly.
