Brits spot 'perfect' EasyJet hack to never pay for on-board luggage again
Gone are the days of being able to cram your worldly belongings into the overhead locker, as many budget airlines now charge hefty fees for carry-on luggage, too.
In 2020, EasyJet introduced hand luggage costs to ‘improve boarding and punctuality’ and now, passengers have to fork out extra to bring a cabin bag on board with only an under-the-seat backpack included with your ticket.
Unless you splash out on priority, you also need to pay an additional fee to take large cabin bags on board with fellow budget airlines such as Wizz Air and Ryanair.

But Brits say they’ve found a ‘brilliant’ solution to the packing dilemma, which means you'll no longer have to wear all of your clothes on the plane - just in time for the 2026 EasyJet sale.
With rave reviews online, shoppers are rushing to buy the 'perfect' carry-on bag that will fit under the seat in front of you - so you can masterfully avoid any hidden fees.
"I bought this bag to maximise carry-on luggage capacity, given that this fits under the aircraft seat," one five-star review reads.
"It looks great with my other Antler cases and conveniently sits on top of the larger carry-on case. It holds a surprising amount of kit and the pockets are well thought out. It looks a premium product."
Another shopper agreed, as they said: "After trying various other brands this one stands out for quality as you would expect from Antler. Well placed pockets and this bag is the perfect size as an under-seat cabin bag."
