Which Wizz Air fare includes which cabin bags

WIZZ Go: adds a 20 kg checked bag and seat selection. Check your booking to see whether your fare includes a trolley bag.
WIZZ Plus: adds WIZZ Priority, so the 55 × 40 × 23 cm trolley is guaranteed in the cabin except for operational reasons, plus a 32 kg checked bag.
WIZZ Smart: adds WIZZ Priority (trolley, priority check-in and boarding) and seat selection.
WIZZ Priority on its own: adds the trolley to any fare. It's cheaper online (€10.00 to €60.00) than at the airport (€65.00 to €75.00). Wizz Air baggage fees

How to measure your bag for Wizz Air

Measure the bag packed, including side pockets. Handles and wheels are left out of the size, but wheels may add no more than 5 cm. The free carry-on must fit under the seat in front of you and the trolley in the overhead compartment. Each bag has its own 10 kg limit. how airline bag sizers work

What rides free besides your cabin bag

A coat or blanket, a mobile phone, reading material, duty-free bought airside after security, and a pair of crutches for passengers with a disability. A neck pillow doesn't count as a free extra: put it inside your bag. Liquids go in containers of up to 100 ml inside one clear, resealable 1-litre bag (20 × 20 cm), presented separately at security.

Flying with children

Children aged 2 to 14 get the same cabin allowance as adults, and babies under 2 fly as infants. Infants get a free 40 × 30 × 20 cm bag (max 10 kg), food for the flight, and a foldable pushchair, pram, travel cot or car seat, taken to the aircraft door or steps and then stowed in the hold. A trolley or checked bag cannot be bought in an infant's name. If you bought a trolley allowance, a compact foldable stroller within 55 × 40 × 23 cm can come on board instead of the trolley. A booster seat is not allowed on board and is charged as additional luggage.

Musical instruments

With WIZZ Priority, a musical instrument in a case up to 80 × 40 × 23 cm and 10 kg can go in the overhead compartment instead of the trolley bag. It then counts as your cabin baggage and no other piece can be carried on board, so the free under-seat bag can't come too.

FAQ

What is the Wizz Air cabin bag size?

Every Wizz Air passenger can bring one free carry-on bag up to 40 × 30 × 20 cm and 10 kg, placed under the seat in front of you. A second, larger trolley bag up to 55 × 40 × 23 cm and 10 kg goes in the overhead compartment and needs WIZZ Priority.

Does Wizz Air Basic include a cabin trolley bag?

No. The Basic fare includes only the free 40 × 30 × 20 cm carry-on that fits under the seat. To bring a 55 × 40 × 23 cm trolley bag, add WIZZ Priority or choose WIZZ Plus or WIZZ Smart, which include it.

How much is WIZZ Priority for a trolley bag?

Wizz Air lists WIZZ Priority at €10.00 to €60.00 online or through the Call Centre, and €65.00 to €75.00 at the airport. It covers the 55 × 40 × 23 cm, 10 kg trolley bag plus priority check-in and boarding. It's non-refundable unless the whole booking is cancelled.

Does WIZZ Go include a trolley bag?

WIZZ Go comes with a 20 kg checked bag, seat selection and a 40 × 30 × 20 cm carry-on placed under the seat. Check your booking to see whether your fare includes a trolley bag.

Do wheels and handles count in the Wizz Air cabin bag size?

Handles and wheels are not included in the size limits, but wheels may add no more than 5 cm. Side pockets do count, so measure the bag when it's packed.

What happens if my Wizz Air cabin bag is too big?

Wizz Air charges extra fees for bags over the 40 × 30 × 20 cm carry-on or 55 × 40 × 23 cm trolley limits, but it doesn't publish a fixed amount. Wizz Air's conditions of carriage say an oversized bag is charged an excess fee at the boarding gate and may be carried in the hold, so adding WIZZ Priority online before the airport is the published way to take a bigger bag.

Can I bring a coat or neck pillow on Wizz Air for free?

Yes. A coat or blanket, a mobile phone, reading material and duty-free bought airside after security can be taken on board free. A neck pillow isn't a separate free item: it must be packed inside your cabin bag, or it may be charged as an extra item.
