EasyJet passengers with certain medical conditions can bring an extra bag on board for essential medical equipment at no cost, provided they inform the airline's Special Assistance Team at least 48 hours before their flight. The medical equipment bag must be no larger than 56 x 45 x 25 cm; otherwise, it must travel in the hold.
The airline states: 'Portable medical equipment can be brought on board in addition to your cabin bag allowance.' This includes devices such as CPAP machines for sleep apnoea, TENS machines for pain relief, nebulisers for respiratory conditions, and portable dialysis machines. Passengers can also bring up to two mobility aids, such as wheelchairs and walkers, free of charge.
If the medical equipment is not registered in advance, it may be subject to standard baggage charges if it exceeds the cabin bag allowance. For multiple or large devices, passengers should contact the Special Assistance team for advice.
The policy aims to support travellers who rely on medical equipment, ensuring they can travel with necessary items without additional fees.
