Breeze personal item
Exact Breeze personal item size with official sources. Last verified 2026-09-10.
Quick answer
Breeze's free personal item is 17 × 13 × 8 inches (~43 × 33 × 20 cm), must fit under the seat, and is included on every fare/bundle — including No Flex and Flex. A larger bag is treated as a carry-on (paid on No Flex / Flex unless you choose Nice+). Measure the packed bag for under-seat fit before you fly; website/app carry-on fees are dynamic — confirm in booking — and the published airport / Guest Empowerment add is $75. On No Flex / Flex, pack to the personal item unless you buy overhead space.

Prefer inches as primary; do not invent an alternate official centimeter figure. Compared with Avelo personal item and Sun Country personal item (both publish 17 × 13 × 9), Breeze's free under-seat box is 17 × 13 × 8. Frontier personal item is also ULCC-style free under-seat — confirm dims on that page.
Free vs paid
- Personal item: always free if within 17 × 13 × 8.
- Full carry-on: free only with Nice / Nicer / Nicest (or purchased add-on on No Flex / Flex) — carry-on size / baggage fees.
- Checked: dynamic paid unless included in Nicer (1) / Nicest (2).
- Bundles apply to the entire reservation — not a personal-item substitute for mixing bags per Guest.
- Use current fare/bundle names only: No Flex, Flex, Nice, Nicer, Nicest.
Gotchas
- Soft bags expand. A backpack that fits empty can fail 17 × 13 × 8 when packed — under-seat fit cares about the packed bag.
- Oversized personal item → carry-on fee (website/app dynamic; airport / Guest Empowerment $75), not "quietly allowed."
- Do not confuse carry-on dims with personal item. Breeze's overhead max (22 × 14 × 9, 35 lb) is larger — but No Flex / Flex flyers only get the smaller free bag for free.
- Pet-carrier underseat space uses a different axis order (17 × 8 × 13) vs personal max (17 × 13 × 8) — don't merge the figures.
- Ascent seats: pet carriers won't fit under the seat (FAQ note).
- No invented static nationwide $ for the website/app carry-on fee if your personal item is reclassified.
Avoid fees
- Pack only a true under-seat bag on No Flex / Flex.
- Measure the packed bag (not empty marketing size) to 17 × 13 × 8.
- If you need overhead space, buy the carry-on early via bag-pricing / booking or choose Nice+ (usually cheaper than airport / Guest Empowerment $75).
- Don't wait until the airport or Guest Empowerment Team.
Bags that fit
