Jet2 Excess Baggage Fees
What Jet2 charges for overweight bags, extra bags and buying baggage at the airport instead of online — from the official policy, checked 30 October 2026.
| Overweight bags | GBP 12 per kg excess baggage fee on baggage over the total weight allowance, carried subject to availability and Jet2's discretion |
| Extra bags | An extra 22 kg bag can be added at booking or via Manage My Booking (price not stated on the page read) |
| Currency | GBP |
Your included allowance (for reference)
| Fare / class | Checked baggage allowance |
|---|---|
| Jet2holidays package | 22 kg hold baggage included per person (excluding infants); extra 22 kg bag can be added for a charge |
| Flight-only | Hold baggage is not described as included on the page read; see Jet2holidays inclusion above |
No single item of baggage may weigh more than 32 kg.
How the charges fit together
Jet2 publishes an overweight charge when a single bag passes its per-bag limit, a per-bag charge for pieces beyond the included count. The charges are separate and can stack: a bag can be inside your piece count and still be overweight, and an extra bag paid for at the airport can cost more than the same bag bought in advance. Work through them in order — count your pieces against the included allowance below, weigh each bag against its per-bag limit, and only then decide whether buying extra allowance in advance beats paying at the desk.
The cheapest way to avoid these fees
Every Jet2 fare in the table above already includes checked baggage, starting with Jet2holidays package (22 kg hold baggage included per person (excluding infants); extra 22 kg bag can be added for a charge), so the fees on this page only bite when you travel with more than that included amount — heavier bags, or more bags than the fare allows. If you are close to the line, weigh the bag at home: a kilogram moved into a companion’s bag, or into a cabin bag within its own limit, is a kilogram that never reaches the excess scale.
