If you are assigned an Up Front or Extra Legroom seat during the automatic assignment, you are still only allowed to take a small amount of hand luggage with you.

A maximum of 1,000 ml of liquids may be taken through the security check. Note that this includes not only liquids, but also sprays, gels, creams, and even spreads like liverwurst. The respective containers must not exceed a maximum capacity of 100 ml each. They should be packed in a resealable and transparent bag of 20x20 cm. Liquids purchased at the airport can be taken into the cabin. Hot drinks must be closed with a lid, alcohol with a maximum of 70% by volume may be taken into the cabin, but may not be opened on board. For liquid foods such as soup, yoghurt or sauces, only a maximum of 100 ml may be taken into the cabin.
Cigarettes can be taken in hand luggage, e-cigarettes (with a maximum of two spare batteries) and lighters (in your own pocket) must be taken into the cabin. Matches are strictly forbidden. All tools (blunt or sharp) or sharp objects and even the mercury clinical thermometer must be placed in checked baggage. Only scissors and tweezers with a maximum length of 6 cm and rounded ends are allowed in the cabin. Razor blades must have a plastic frame to be transported in hand luggage. Knives may not exceed a maximum blade length of 6 cm - according to the EU regulation. However, the airports themselves often ban all sharp objects in hand luggage.
Cameras with dimensions of max. 63 x 27 x 28 cm are allowed in the cabin. It must be stowed in the luggage racks (arrive early for boarding). The lithium battery must be easy to disconnect and remove. A maximum of two power banks or lithium-ion batteries for portable electronic devices with a capacity of 100 Wh may be carried in carry-on baggage only. They must be individually wrapped to avoid short circuits.
The dimensions for taking instruments are subject to the hand luggage regulations of your tariff/your booking. In principle, they may only be taken into the cabin as large hand luggage if they are no larger than 30 x 117 x 38 cm including the suitcase and comply with the safety regulations. If you would like to take a larger musical instrument with you in the cabin, you must book your own ticket with a window seat (not in rows with restricted seating, e.g. at emergency exits or first row) under the name "Herr Musik Instrument". The instrument case must neither exceed the seat width of 43 cm nor the upper edge of the backrest by more than 30 cm. The maximum permissible total weight of case and instrument must not exceed 75 kg. Although Mr. Musik Instrument has reserved his own seat, no additional hand luggage may be carried. EasyJet recommends special travel insurance when bringing a musical instrument.
Printer and toner cartridges with a maximum total weight of 500g may not be carried in the cabin, but may be carried in checked baggage.
5. WHAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED WHEN TRAVELING WITH CHILDREN?
easyJet general rules for traveling with infants:
- For safety reasons, only one infant is allowed per row with three seats.
- Infants must sit with adults.
- Restricted seats may not be used when traveling with infants.
- If you are traveling with two small children, a seat for one child must be purchased. The child must travel in a suitable car seat.
Infants under the age of 2 may be carried on the lap without their own seat. easyJet does not charge a ticket directly for this, but a fee of €31.00.
In addition to your own small hand luggage, you can usually take a baby bag with the dimensions 45 × 36 × 20 cm. Both bags can be stowed under the front seat, further reducing the space available for the two of them. Of course, you can also book your own seat for your toddler (exclusively through the customer service team). The toddler only has to sit on your lap during take-off and landing.
Baby food, sterilized water and milk are not subject to the 100ml container limit. However, only a maximum of 1 liter of liquid is allowed. It may happen that you have to taste the liquids at the airport for security reasons. Be sure to observe the regulations on the import of food in your destination country.
In order to be able to sit together with your family, the purchase of seats is recommended. If you do not want this, you should check in as soon as possible. With easyJet you can check in 30 days before your flight.
When traveling with small children, you often have to take the appropriate equipment with you. In addition to hand luggage, each child or infant can take two items that are required for the journey. This includes:
- Travel bed
- Stroller, buggy, double stroller (foldable or non-foldable)
- Car seat, booster seat, baby carrier
As a rule, these items are to be handed in at the baggage counter. If, for example, a buggy or baby carrier is needed on the way to the plane, this is not a problem. Before boarding, these are accepted and transported in the hold. You can then pick them up just like the rest of your luggage at the baggage claim.
As with adults, each child can take up to three pieces of baggage as hold baggage, which is subject to a charge.
6. WHAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED WHEN TRAVELING WITH REDUCED MOBILITY?
Two mobility aids such as wheelchairs, aids, crutches, shower seats or electric aids may be carried on board in addition to checked baggage. If there are more than two mobility aids, additional baggage must be purchased. As a rule, the help can be used until boarding the aircraft, if necessary it is then stowed in the hold and handed out again at the destination airport either directly when boarding or at baggage claim.
If you or a fellow passenger need help getting to the plane from the airport due to a disability or restricted mobility, easyJet will organize this for you. The service itself is provided by the airport and varies depending on the location. You should therefore inquire in advance whether the airports used offer a service that suits your needs. In order to be able to organize everything in good time as part of the processes at the airport, the request must be announced at least 48 hours before departure.

15. INFORMATION ABOUT STAYING ON BOARD
Inflight entertainment
The travel magazine Traveler is offered as inflight entertainment on flights with easyJet. As a user of a low-cost airline, as is generally the case with short and medium-haul routes, you are responsible for your own in-flight entertainment. It's a good thing that there are now so many different ways to pass the time. In addition to analogue entertainment options such as a bound book or puzzle book, the digital age offers e-books, audio books, podcasts, films and series for the time at the airport and on board. If you use streaming services such as Netflix, AmazonPrime or similar, you can download your "television program" in advance. Playlists created in advance entertain you with music, podcasts or audio books according to your taste.
What electronic devices can I use on easyJet aircraft?

Meals on board
During your flight, you will be offered a variety of food and drinks to buy from the galley. As with all short and medium-haul flights of most airlines, easyJet does not offer free meals.
You can easily take sandwiches or other dishes from home. Note that with liquid foods such as soup and sauces, you are not allowed to take more than 100 ml with you due to safety regulations. Although food and drinks are not cheap at the airport, you can simply take them with you on board. Compared to the on-board kitchen, you have more choice and can still save a lot of money.
Tip: If you are also one of those who like to take more food with you, inquire about the import regulations for groceries at your destination. If not everything is eaten on the flight and the import of certain foods is not permitted, you must dispose of the rest.
