EasyJet have announced is to reduce its onboard luggage allowance from 10th February 2021, limiting who can store bags in the overhead lockers.
Under the new rules, all passengers can bring a small bag for free, which ill need to be stored under the seat in front of you, but only those passengers who pay for a seat in the front of the plane or extra leg room can bring a larger bag to be stored in the overhead locker during the flight.
The airline said the new luggage rules, which bring its approach more into line with Ryanair, would be positive for customers.
“Our new policy will improve boarding and punctuality for everyone, as well as give our customers certainty of what they will have with them onboard,” easyJet’s chief commercial and customer officer Robert Carey said in a statement.
Previously, all easyJet passengers were allowed to bring a large bag for the overhead locker, although some of these were placed in the hold free of charge when the lockers became full.
