EasyJet to offer extra carry on bag to Plus members

Some easyJet passengers will be able to carry on a second bag, such as a handbag or laptop bag, into the cabin on flights from next month.

EasyJet Plus members who pay an annual fee of £149 will be able to bring an additional handbag or laptop-sized bag from March 19.

The option is also available to passengers who have bought a Flexifare or who have purchased upfront or extra legroom seats.

All passengers using the budget carrier will still be able to take on board a cabin bag of up to 56x45x25cm with no charge or weight limit, which can be placed in the overhead locker. All passengers can also carry on board a duty free bag.

Commercial director Peter Duffy said: “We already have a generous cabin bag policy with no charge or weight limit, but some of our customers have been telling us they would like the option of an extra, smaller, under-seat bag such as a handbag or laptop case.

“From March 19, we are introducing this for easyJet Plus customers.

“EasyJet Plus customers are among our most frequent and loyal passengers and this is another way of recognising their importance to easyJet and providing them with more value when they fly with us.

“We believe we can provide this additional benefit to these passengers while not affecting our industry leading punctuality.”
