Question 1

Can I buy extra baggage online after booking?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Add up to three 22kg hold bags per person per flight via Manage My Booking on jet2.com (booking reference, surname and departure date required) or through the Jet2 app, which supports managing bookings and adding travel essentials.

Question 2

Where do I buy extra baggage?

Accepted Answer

Buy when booking online on jet2.com, afterwards in Manage My Booking or the Jet2 app, via the Call Centre (contact us) for sports and special items, or at the airport on the day of departure for a set per-item fee.

Question 3

When should I buy extra baggage?

Accepted Answer

Add bags at booking time or afterwards in Manage My Booking. Sports equipment and large items should be pre-booked before travel as aircraft space is limited and unbooked items may be refused. Additional items can still be checked in at the airport on the day of departure for a set fee.

Question 4

How does Jet2 calculate extra baggage charges?

Accepted Answer

The pre-booked charge per 22kg hold bag varies by destination and by channel (website, Call Centre or airport), with the exact amount shown during booking. Excess weight is £12 per kg at the airport, capped at the cost of an extra hold bag. Sports equipment starts from £35 online with exact fees shown during booking.

Question 5

Is it cheaper to buy extra baggage online in advance vs at the airport?

Accepted Answer

Online pre-booking is the intended channel: hold-bag prices vary by destination and are shown at booking, while at the airport a set per-item fee applies to additional hold bags. Extra or oversized hand baggage cannot be bought online at all and costs £45 / €55 per item at the airport or gate.

Question 6

How many extra bags can I buy, and what are the bag limits?

Accepted Answer

Up to three 22kg hold bags per person per flight (excluding infants), and no single item may exceed 32kg. Cabin allowance is one 10kg bag (56 x 45 x 25 cm) plus one small under-seat bag (40 x 30 x 20 cm). Infants have no separate allowance: their hand baggage forms part of the adult's allowance, plus an extra 10kg of hold allowance per infant if hold luggage is on the booking.

Question 7

What are the overweight or oversized baggage rules?

Accepted Answer

Weight over your allowance is charged at £12 per kg up to the cost of an extra hold bag, after which the extra-bag price applies up to 22kg; bags over 32kg are refused. Oversized or extra hand baggage is only charged at the airport or gate (£45 / €55 per item) and cannot be pre-booked online.

Question 8

Can I pay for extra baggage with cards or cash at the airport?

Accepted Answer

All Jet2 UK departure airports are cashless, so only credit or debit card payment is accepted there. Outside the UK, additional baggage fees at the airport are generally accepted in local currency or by credit/debit card.

Question 9

Are there any important exceptions or restrictions I should know?

Accepted Answer

Infants get an extra 10kg of hold allowance free per infant when hold luggage is on the booking, added by staff at check-in with no pre-booking needed. Up to two child/infant items (pushchair, car seat, baby carrier, travel cot) fly free per child, each max 32kg; pushchairs can be kept until the plane steps. Bikes booked into the hold cannot later be swapped for a suitcase.
