If you’ve booked a Standard seat or haven’t select­ed a seat, and want to bring on board a musi­cal instru­ment that is larg­er than 45 x 36 x 20 cm (but small­er than 30 x 117 x 38 cm) you will need to book an Up front or Extra legroom seat in order to get a large cab­in bag allowance. easyJet Plus card­hold­ers and FLEXI fare cus­tomers can do this free of charge or at a dis­count­ed rate as part of their mem­ber­ship or fare. You can add or change seats in Manage Bookings.

Cabin seat

Any musi­cal instru­ments that are larg­er than 30 x 117 x 38 cm can only trav­el in the cab­in if a sep­a­rate tick­et is pur­chased for them. They may sit on the seat or on the floor, upright or at an angle, but must meet the require­ments list­ed below. Safety is our num­ber one pri­or­i­ty, so please note that even if the instru­ment meets all require­ments, if our crew are not sat­is­fied that the instru­ment can be safe­ly stowed, we will have to place it in the hold.

• Instruments to trav­el in the cab­in if a seat is pur­chased for them:
• must not exceed the max­i­mum allowed weight of 75kg (instru­ment and case combined)
• need to fit with­in the min­i­mum seat width of 43cm
• must be in a case, with a han­dle which is capa­ble of being used to pass the seat belt through, so that they can be safe­ly secured to the seat
• must not pro­trude more than 30cm above the top of the seat back. The seat height is 68cm from the seat cush­ion, and 114cm from the floor
• can only be placed in win­dow seats
• can­not be booked in restrict­ed seats or seats in the rows next to restrict­ed seats

To book a seat for your instru­ment, you’ll need to add a pas­sen­ger to your book­ing and add ‘Mr Musical Instrument’ as the pas­sen­ger name. If you’ve already booked your seat and need to add a musi­cal instru­ment, please con­tact our Customer Services Team.

Please be aware that seats bought for musi­cal instru­ments do not come with any cab­in bag allowance.

Checked

If you’d pre­fer, you can check your instru­ment into the hold instead, by book­ing a hold lug­gage allowance.

Any instru­ment that does not meet the require­ments (above) allow­ing it to safe­ly trav­el in the cab­in must also be checked into the hold.

Please ensure instru­ments are packed safe­ly and securely.

We rec­om­mend you buy spe­cial­ist trav­el insur­ance to cov­er your musi­cal instru­ment before you travel.
