Wizz Air Cabin Bag Size (2026)

Wizz Air: free carry-on 40×30×20 cm / 10 kg under the seat. Overhead trolley 55×40×23 / 10 kg needs WIZZ Priority (or Plus / Smart). Verified 2026-09-17.

Quick answer

On every Wizz Air fare, each passenger gets one free carry-on bag: max 40 × 30 × 20 cm, max 10 kg, under the seat in front of you (laptop bag, purse, briefcase, or small backpack). A second trolley bag max 55 × 40 × 23 cm, 10 kg, for the overhead locker is not free on Basic. It comes with WIZZ Priority (also included in WIZZ Plus and the Smart bundle). WIZZ Go adds a 20 kg checked bag and seat selection, not the trolley (per Flight Fares and Bundles). Size allowance does not include handles/wheels, but wheels may add no more than 5 cm. Airport Cabin Baggage fee €55–€65 (All Services and Fees). Confirm live prices and your booking inclusions on wizzair.com before you fly.

Product / booking type (official names) Free carry-on 40×30×20 / 10 kg Trolley 55×40×23 / 10 kg Checked Source
Basic (“Travel light”) Yes — free No None included Fares and Bundles; Baggage allowance
WIZZ Go / WIZZ Family Go Yes — free (+1 under-seat stated in bundle copy) No on Fares & Bundles page (Go = seat excl. extra legroom + 20 kg checked + under-seat + early online check-in) 20 kg included Fares and Bundles

WIZZ Priority add-on alone Still free under-seat Yes No hold by itself Priority; Cabin baggage

Go trolley conflict — VERIFY: Adding Baggage says “Both WIZZ Go and WIZZ Plus bundles include extra checked-in baggage and a trolley bag.” Flight Fares and Bundles (opened same day) lists no trolley for Go — only under-seat + 20 kg hold. Prefer Fares & Bundles for Go cabin rights; treat Adding Baggage wording as VERIFY / conflict. Confirm on your live booking whether Go shows a trolley before you pack one.

Basic trap: Free bag is under-seat only. A 55 cm trolley without Priority means airport Cabin Baggage fee / gate excess.

Plus vs Go: Go is hold-focused (20 kg checked). Plus adds Priority trolley + heavier hold + Flex. Treat Go as under-seat free + hold, not overhead trolley, until your itinerary says otherwise.


Gotchas

  1. Basic ≠ free trolley — only 40 × 30 × 20 / 10 kg under the seat.
  2. WIZZ Go ≠ Priority — Go adds 20 kg checked, not the overhead trolley (per Fares page).
  3. Wheels +5 cm max — handles/wheels excluded from the box, but wheels cannot add more than 5 cm.
  4. Both bags are 10 kg — free carry-on and trolley each max 10 kg.
  5. Free carry-on cannot be checked for free — cabin page.
  6. Neck pillow must fit inside allowance — not a free extra piece.
  7. Airport cabin fee €55–€65 — published range; your ticket may land anywhere in that band.
  8. Priority price: use €13–€57.50 (fees table) over the Priority page €10–€60 until reconciled; confirm at checkout.
  9. Infant gets an extra 40×30×20 / 10 kg personal item — children 2–14 follow adult cabin rules.
  10. AOC brands (UK / HU / Malta / Abu Dhabi) share wizzair.com help for dims today — VERIFY if operating-carrier GCC ever diverges; UK GCC cabin dims match help.

Traveler caution: On Wizz Basic you only get the small under-seat bag. The trolley is Priority (bundled in Plus and Smart, not in Go per Fares & Bundles). Measure wheels: they can stick out five centimetres, not forever. Confirm live fees and inclusions on wizzair.com before you fly.

  • VERIFY: Inch conversions — not printed.
  • VERIFY: Operating-carrier AOC (W9 UK vs W6 HU vs Malta) — dim parity confirmed on UK GCC + en-gb help today; re-check if separate brand pages appear.
  • VERIFY: Airport fee for cabin vs “excess oversize/overweight” naming in GCC vs “Cabin Baggage fee” row.

FAQ

What is the Wizz Air cabin bag / hand luggage size?
Free on every fare: one carry-on max 40 × 30 × 20 cm, 10 kg, under the seat. With WIZZ Priority (or Plus / Smart): also a trolley max 55 × 40 × 23 cm, 10 kg, overhead. Official cabin baggage + baggage allowance opened 2026-09-17.

Does Wizz Air Basic include a free trolley / cabin suitcase?
No. Basic includes the free under-seat carry-on only. The overhead trolley needs WIZZ Priority (or a bundle that includes it: Plus / Smart per Fares & Bundles).

Does WIZZ Go include a cabin trolley bag?
Fares & Bundles: Go includes 20 kg checked + free under-seat carry-on + seat selection (excl. extra legroom), not Priority/trolley. Adding Baggage page wording conflicts; treat Go trolley as VERIFY and check your booking before packing a trolley.

Can I bring a personal item and a trolley on Wizz Air?
Yes, with Priority (or Plus / Smart): free 40 × 30 × 20 under-seat plus 55 × 40 × 23 / 10 kg trolley. Without Priority: under-seat only.

What if my Wizz cabin bag is too big?
Exceeding size/weight attracts fees. All Services and Fees: airport Cabin Baggage fee €55–€65. UK GCC: oversize/overweight unchecked can mean a gate excess fee and hold carriage. Confirm live on wizzair.com.

Do wheels and handles count on Wizz Air?
Size allowance does not include handles/wheels, but wheels must add no more than 5 cm. Side pockets count in the published dimensions (UK GCC).
