Jet2 Clarifies How Infant 10kg Allowance Is Applied to Hold Bags

The airline says the extra 10kg is added to one adult's checked baggage so families can avoid unexpected excess charges by packing accordingly.

Overview

  • Jet2 responded to a passenger enquiry on June 20, 2026, saying the infant's extra 10kg is applied to one adult's hold bag, allowing one bag at 32kg and the other at 22kg.
  • The clarification followed a customer report that Jet2 staff had given conflicting advice about whether the 10kg must be in a separate small checked case.
  • Jet2 reiterated its website rules that each child or infant is allowed up to two free items such as a collapsible pushchair, car seat or travel cot and that each item must weigh no more than 32kg.
  • Any items beyond the free allowance or luggage that exceeds the stated weight will be charged under the airline's standard excess baggage fees, and bulky child items may be gate-checked.
  • The update restates existing Jet2.com guidance rather than a policy change and highlights how differences between website rules and frontline staff guidance can cause confusion for travelling families.
