Jet2 passengers allowed 6 free luggage items on flights this summer

Jet2 passengers can take six items of luggage onboard flights this summer completely free of charge.

Unlike some airlines, all Jet2 flights include a 10kg hand luggage allowance as standard. As such, passengers wont be stung by any extra fees providing their bag is within the weight limit and is no larger than 56cm x 45cm x 25cm, including wheels and handles. But passengers can take up to five extra items of luggage onboard flights as well as this for no extra charge. This includes a small bag no larger than 40cm x 30cm x 15cm that will fit underneath the seat in front of you, such as a handbag, laptop bag or something you bought in the airport before boarding.

The airline also allows passengers to take a collapsible pushchair, car seat and/or a travel cot for free, up to a weight of 10kg, which is great news for families heading abroad this summer. These items must go into the hold but the airline will allow you to take pushchairs all the way to the plane steps or airbridge before boarding.

All of this combined with a suitcase of up to 22kg which must go into the hold means Jet2 passengers can take up to six luggage items in total on flights without having to fork out any extra cash.

Jet2 says: "With all our Jet2holidays, every person on your booking gets a generous 22kg hold baggage and 10kg hand luggage included as standard (excluding infants). That means you can pack all those glitzy holiday outfits and bring plenty of quirky souvenirs home with you.

"Travelling with little ones in tow? To make things a little easier, you can bring along a collapsible pushchair, car seat and/or travel cot free of charge - up to a total weight of 10kg, per travelling infant or child."

While infants don't get their own checked bag allowance included, the airline will add an extra 10kg to the accompanying adult's hold baggage allowance to accommodate for their belongings so families don't have to worry about skimping on the packing.

Jet2 adds: "You don't get a separate bag for your infant under two, but an extra 10kg allowance for their things can be added to their accompanying adult's 22kg hold bag, free of charge. This is applicable for each infant-and-adult pairing on the booking.

"Plus, a collapsible pushchair/buggy and/or a car seat and/or a travel cot can be carried in the hold free of charge, as long as the total weight of these items doesn't exceed 10kg. Anything exceeding this will be charged for in line with our excess baggage policy, subject to space and availability.

"And for your convenience, you can take your collapsible pushchair/buggy all the way to the plane steps/air bridge, where we'll put it in the hold and you can get it back at baggage reclaim.

"If you're carrying more than one of these items, please let us know so we can advise our local agents in resort to make sure the transfer you've booked will accommodate them. On occasion, you may need to change to a private transfer at an extra cost."
