Jet2 has clarified its baggage regulations for passengers travelling with young children, offering guidance that can help families navigate the airport more smoothly. The airline's policy allows parents to use collapsible pushchairs all the way to the boarding gate, rather than handing them over at bag drop.
The clarification came after a customer named Tracy asked on X (formerly Twitter) whether she could use her Doona pram until boarding. Jet2 team member Josh replied: "You are able to use this all the way up until the plane." The airline's website confirms that collapsible pushchairs can be taken to the plane steps or air bridge, where they will be placed in the hold and returned at baggage reclaim.
Jet2's FAQ states that passengers with an infant under two years old receive an extra 10kg allowance for their accompanying adult's 22kg hold bag. Parents can also take two items of equipment per child free of charge, including a collapsible pushchair, car seat, baby back carrier, or travel cot. Each item must weigh no more than 32kg, and any extra items or weight beyond the allowance will be charged as standard excess baggage.
The airline advises passengers to inform them if travelling with more than one item, as this may affect transfer arrangements. It also recommends carrying infant items like nappies and wipes in hand luggage, and notes that baby milk and food may need to be tested at airport security.
