Jet2 has clarified its luggage allowance policy for passengers traveling in groups. The airline, which operates from Birmingham and other UK airports including East Midlands, responded to a holidaymaker on X (formerly Twitter) who inquired about baggage rules for group bookings.
Group Luggage Pooling Allowed
The passenger explained they had a group booking for 10 people, each with 22kg of checked luggage included, and asked: “If one person is over does all the weight pool together or does everyone individual need to be 22kg?” Jet2 replied: “Yes you are able to pool your luggage providing you do not go over your overall weight limit and no one bag weighs more than 32kg.”
When the passenger followed up asking if one person would not be charged if their case was slightly overweight while others were under, Jet2 confirmed: “That's correct.” The airline added: “If one bag is slightly over, but others are under, you will still have room within your overall allowance and will not be charged.”
