Breeze Personal Item Size (2026)

Breeze personal item size under the seat, when Nice and higher bundles include a carry-on, and base-fare notes, with official links.

Quick answer

Breeze's free personal item is 17 × 13 × 8 inches (about 43 × 33 × 20 cm), must fit under the seat, and is included on every fare and bundle, including No Flex and Flex. A larger bag is treated as a carry-on (paid on No Flex and Flex unless you choose Nice or higher). Measure the packed bag for under-seat fit before you fly; website and app carry-on fees vary, so check when you book, and adding a bag at the airport or through the Guest Empowerment Team costs a published $75. On No Flex and Flex, pack to the personal item unless you buy overhead space.

Pet carrier note Soft-sided pet carrier counts as the personal item; Breeze cites underseat space of 17 × 8 × 13 (length × width × height) for Extra and Standard legroom seats, a different axis order from the personal item maximum of 17 × 13 × 8; carriers won't fit under Ascent seats
No Flex and Flex Personal item only for a free cabin bag
Sizer and fit Must fit under the seat when packed; measure before travel

Inches are the official size. 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’s personal item is also free under the seat, as at other low-cost airlines; check the size on that page.

Free and paid

  • Personal item: always free if within 17 × 13 × 8.
  • Full carry-on: free only with Nice, Nicer or Nicest (or as a purchased add-on on No Flex and Flex); see carry-on size and baggage fees.
  • Checked: dynamic paid unless included in Nicer (1) / Nicest (2).
  • Bundles apply to the entire reservation; they can’t be mixed per Guest.
  • Breeze’s current fare bundles are No Flex, Flex, Nice, Nicer and Nicest.

Gotchas

  1. Soft bags expand. A backpack that fits empty can fail 17 × 13 × 8 when packed; under-seat fit goes by the packed bag.
  2. An oversized personal item gets the carry-on fee (the website and app price varies; $75 at the airport or through the Guest Empowerment Team); it is not "quietly allowed."
  3. Carry-on size and the personal item are different: Breeze's overhead maximum (22 × 14 × 9, 35 lb) is larger, but No Flex and Flex flyers only get the smaller bag for free.
  4. Pet-carrier underseat space uses a different axis order (17 × 8 × 13) from the personal item maximum (17 × 13 × 8); don't mix up the figures.
  5. Ascent seats: pet carriers won't fit under the seat (per Breeze’s FAQ).
  6. The website and app carry-on fee varies if your personal item is reclassified.

Avoid fees

  • Pack only a true under-seat bag on No Flex and Flex.
  • Measure the packed bag (not empty marketing size) to 17 × 13 × 8.
  • If you need overhead space, buy the carry-on early through bag pricing when you book, or choose Nice or higher (usually cheaper than the $75 at the airport or through the Guest Empowerment Team).
  • Don't wait until the airport or Guest Empowerment Team.

Bags that fit

Personal free all fares: 17 × 13 × 8 in. Carry-on 22 × 14 × 9, 35 lb: paid on No Flex and Flex; included in Nice, Nicer and Nicest. No Flex: the personal item is the only cabin bag unless you buy a carry-on or choose Nice or higher; adding a bag at the airport is often $75 per bag. Shop: soft bags up to 17 × 13 × 8 packed. Measure when packed; the airport sizer is the rule. A fit is not guaranteed.
