Do not forget to check the size of your hand luggage: EasyJet can fine passengers for violations

EasyJet has strict baggage rules that can cost British vacationers an extra £48. It's worth checking the size of your hand luggage before arriving at the airport to avoid fines

The airline allows passengers to take small hand luggage on the plane free of charge, but it should not exceed 45 x 36 x 20 cm. If you want to take a larger suitcase - up to 56 x 45 x 25 cm - you will have to pay extra when booking a ticket," LancsLive writes.

The price starts at £5.99. If you arrive at the airport with a bag that is too big and do not pay for the extra size, you will be charged a £48 airport baggage fee.

In addition, even if you pay the fee, you will not be able to take your oversized bag on the plane. It will be placed in the luggage compartment and you will have to pick it up from the baggage carousel when you arrive at your destination.

EasyJet warns travellers to make sure their carry-on luggage meets the airline's standards to avoid any costly surprises, Birmingham Live reports. The airline reports on its website, "We check the size of hand luggage before boarding."
