Hand Luggage and Duty Free Rules for Major UK Airlines
Hand Luggage and Duty Free Rules for Major UK Airlines

Passengers flying with Ryanair, easyJet, TUI, and Jet2 need to be aware of differing hand luggage and duty-free rules. While most airlines allow a small personal bag for free, allowances for cabin bags and duty-free items vary significantly.

Ryanair includes a small personal bag (40x30x20cm) with all fares, which must fit under the seat. Priority boarding allows an additional 10kg cabin bag (55x40x20cm). Duty-free items can be carried alongside cabin bags, and infants have a 5kg baby bag allowance.

easyJet permits one small bag (45x36x20cm) up to 15kg for free, with an option to pay for a larger cabin bag (56x45x25cm). Duty-free is allowed as an extra item, and passengers must be able to lift their own bags.

TUI offers one free hand luggage piece (55x40x20cm, up to 10kg) plus a small personal bag (40x30x20cm). Duty-free bags are permitted, but liquids must be in a sealed security bag with receipt throughout the journey.

Jet2 allows a small bag (40x30x20cm) and one hand luggage piece (56x45x25cm, up to 10kg) for free. Infants under 2 get an additional 10kg allowance. Duty-free can be carried as the small bag or separately.
