As of February 10, 2021, the low-cost airline Easyjet will only allow you to take a "small piece of hand luggage" with the dimensions 45x36x20 centimeters. Up to now, the IATA standard format was included with no weight restrictions. The company is adopting similar rules as its competitors Ryanair, Wizzair, Condor and Utair.

For example, if you want to take a classic hand luggage trolley with you in the IATA standard format, you will have to reserve a seat in the “Up Front” or “Extra Legroom” areas for a fee. Otherwise, the piece of hand luggage that is a maximum of 56x45x25cm can no longer be taken on board.

Alternatively, the chargeable option “Hands Free” must be booked. As a result, the trolley has to be handed in at the check-in counter and can then be received again on the baggage carousel. According to Easyjet, eight euros will be charged for this per person and route. According to the price list, seat reservations cost between EUR 10,49 and EUR 52,49 per person and route.

Anyone found at Easyjet with a piece of hand luggage in IATA standard format at the gate from February 10, 2021 and cannot show a seat reservation in the “Up Front” or “Extra Legroom” areas will be asked to pay for a hefty 57 euros.
