easyJet baggage at GVA — FAQ
What is easyJet free cabin bag size?
45 × 36 × 20 cm at up to 15 kg — must fit under the seat in front of you. Every easyJet passenger, regardless of fare, gets this free underseat bag. There is no separate “personal item” — the underseat bag IS the personal item. Wheels and handles count toward the dimensions. easyJet bag-sizers at the gate are strictly enforced — if your bag doesn’t fit, you pay CHF 50–65 at the gate.
How do I bring a large cabin bag on easyJet from Geneva?
The large cabin bag (56 × 45 × 25 cm) is not free for standard fares. To bring it, you must: book FLEXI fare (~CHF 50 more); be an easyJet Plus member (~£199/year); pay for an Upfront or Up Front seat (CHF 12–30 depending on route); or add the Hands Free service (~£4.50). Without any of these, you can only bring the free underseat bag.
How much is a hold bag with easyJet from Geneva?
A 15 kg hold bag costs CHF 12 when booked online, CHF 50 at the airport. A 23 kg bag is CHF 25 online, CHF 70 at the airport. Always add hold bags via the easyJet app or website at least 2 hours before flight — the airport rate is much higher and there’s no haggling. Excess weight per kg over your bag’s limit: CHF 12 per kg, same online and airport.
How much does easyJet charge for skis from GVA?
CHF 45 per ski/snowboard bag (up to 20 kg) when booked online in advance, CHF 65 at the airport. The ski bag is one piece, separate from your regular hold bag allowance — you can take a 23 kg checked bag AND a 20 kg ski bag for CHF 25 + CHF 45 = CHF 70. Drop the ski bag at the oversized baggage counter (T1 departures, far end past row 200), after regular check-in.
Are easyJet bag-sizer gauges strict at Geneva?
Yes — particularly on ski-Saturday morning departures (peak season Dec–Feb, 06:00–09:00) when staff actively gauge bags at boarding. If your free underseat bag doesn’t fit in the sizer (45 × 36 × 20 cm including handles and wheels), you pay CHF 50–65 at the gate to put it in the hold. To avoid this, weigh and measure at home; the easyJet website specifies the exact sizer dimensions.
