Breeze Carry On Size (2026)
Breeze carry-on size, when Nice and higher bundles include an overhead bag, and which base fares allow a personal item only, with official links.
Quick answer
Breeze’s published carry-on limit is 22 × 14 × 9 inches (handles and wheels included) and 35 lb. A full-size carry-on is paid on No Flex and Flex and included on Nice, Nicer, and Nicest. Every fare still includes one free personal item at 17 × 13 × 8 inches under the seat. Website and app carry-on prices vary by route, so check Breeze’s bag pricing tool; adding a bag at the airport or through the Guest Empowerment Team costs a published $75 per bag.

Inches are the official size; centimeters are converted. Compared with Avelo carry-on size (also 22 × 14 × 9) and Frontier carry-on size (24 × 16 × 10), Breeze matches the common budget-airline overhead size, but on No Flex and Flex that bag is paid, so “fits overhead” does not mean “free.”
Free and paid
- Always free: one personal item (17 × 13 × 8 in) under the seat on every fare and bundle, including No Flex and Flex.
- No Flex and Flex: full carry-on is paid. The price comes from Breeze’s bag pricing quote tool (it varies by route and session); check it when you book. Adding a bag at the airport or through the Guest Empowerment Team costs a published $75 per bag.
- Nice: personal item and carry-on included.
- Nicer: personal item, carry-on and 1 checked bag (plus Extra Legroom, Zone 1 and WiFi when available; fees on our baggage fees page).
- Nicest: personal item, carry-on and 2 checked bags (plus Breeze Ascent, BreezeBy and WiFi when available).
- Bundles apply to the entire reservation; they are not mixed per Guest on one booking.
Breeze’s current fare bundles are No Flex, Flex, Nice, Nicer and Nicest.
Gotchas
- Must fit the overhead bin. Oversized bags may have to be checked, with fees, so measure including wheels and handles before you leave home.
- Buying at the airport or through the Guest Empowerment Team costs $75 per bag. That published price is often much higher than website or app pricing, so buy early through bag pricing when you book.
- Soft bags that expand past 22 × 14 × 9 won’t fit the bin or sizer even if they looked fine empty.
- An oversized personal item counts as a carry-on. If your under-seat bag won’t fit 17 × 13 × 8, expect carry-on pricing (varies online; $75 at the airport or through the Guest Empowerment Team).
- The personal item and the carry-on are different: No Flex and Flex flyers only get the smaller free bag (17 × 13 × 8); the full 22 × 14 × 9 overhead bag is paid unless you choose Nice or higher.
- Website and app prices vary by route, so don’t treat any single nationwide carry-on price as fixed.
Avoid fees
- If you need overhead space, choose Nice, Nicer or Nicest, or add the carry-on early through bag pricing when you book, not at the airport or through the Guest Empowerment Team.
- Pack to the free 17 × 13 × 8 personal item only when flying No Flex or Flex and traveling light.
- Measure the packed bag (not empty marketing size); stay at or under 22 × 14 × 9 in and 35 lb.
- Soft-sided bags that expand past the published size fail even if they “look” fine at home.
- Avoid buying at the airport or through the Guest Empowerment Team: the published price is $75 per bag.
- For checked-bag overweight and oversize fees and what Nicer and Nicest include, use the Breeze baggage fees page.
Bags that fit
Look for hard or soft carry-ons marketed at or under 22 × 14 × 9 inches including wheels and handles, 35 lb, and confirm with a tape measure before you fly. Soft under-seat bags at or under 17 × 13 × 8 cover the free personal item on No Flex and Flex. Carry-on is paid on No Flex and Flex; included in Nice, Nicer and Nicest. Adding a bag at the airport or through the Guest Empowerment Team is often $75 per bag. Measure when packed; the airport sizer is the rule. A fit is not guaranteed.
