How to Measure Your Bag for Jet2

  1. Place your bag against a wall or flat surface.
  2. Measure height, width, and depth including wheels, handles, and pockets.
  3. Compare with Jet2’s limit: 22 x 14 x 10 in (56 x 45 x 25 cm).
  4. If any dimension exceeds this, expect to check the bag at the gate.

Gotchas / Common Issues

  • ✈️ No free personal item: Jet2 is stricter than most airlines — only the cabin bag counts.
  • ✈️ Overstuffed bags: Staff check dimensions carefully at boarding gates.
  • ✈️ Fees: Checked baggage must be pre-booked to avoid higher airport fees.
