Wizz Air Personal Item Size (2026)

Wizz Air’s free personal item is the carry-on bag 40×30×20 cm / 10 kg under the seat on every fare. Trolley needs Priority. Verified 2026-09-17.

Quick answer

Wizz Air’s free “personal item” is the official carry-on bag: max 40 × 30 × 20 cm, max 10 kg, must sit under the seat in front of you. Free on every fare including Basic. Official examples: laptop bag, purse, briefcase, small backpack. Size allowance does not include handles/wheels, but wheels may add no more than 5 cm. This is not the overhead trolley; the 55 × 40 × 23 cm / 10 kg trolley needs WIZZ Priority (or Plus / Smart). Infants (0–2) get one additional 40 × 30 × 20 / 10 kg personal item as infant luggage. Pack valuables here; the free bag cannot be checked in for free. Confirm sizes on wizzair.com before you fly.

Booking type This under-seat carry-on Trolley 55×40×23 / 10 kg Hold
Basic Free Paid Priority Paid

WIZZ Priority add-on Still free Paid / included Separate

There is no paid upgrade that enlarges this under-seat bag. Money buys Priority trolley, checked bags, or bundles, not a bigger personal item.
Basic trap: On Basic this 40 × 30 × 20 / 10 kg under-seat bag is your whole free cabin allowance; trolley needs Priority (or Plus / Smart).
Unlike Jet2: Wizz’s free piece is the under-seat bag; the trolley is paid.
Like Ryanair Basic / easyJet Standard: under-seat free; overhead paid/bundled.

Gotchas

  1. This is the free bag on Basic — not a free second piece beside a trolley.
  2. 10 kg is real — there is no unlimited under-seat weight on Wizz.
  3. 40 × 30 × 20 — Wizz’s box only; other airlines print different under-seat sizes.
  4. Wheels +5 cm max — handles/wheels excluded from the box.
  5. Soft bags expand — measure packed; must fit under the seat.
  6. Neck pillow inside the bag — not a free third item.
  7. Infant gets an extra matching personal item; adult Basic does not get two.
  8. Airport purchase / duty-free after security is a listed free personal property — still don’t treat a huge shop bag as a loophole past size if used as the carry-on.
  9. Oversized → €55–€65 airport Cabin Baggage fee.
  10. Cannot check the free carry-on for free — keep meds/docs/laptop with you.

Traveler caution: On Wizz Basic the 40 × 30 × 20 under-seat bag is your whole free cabin allowance, and it has a 10 kg limit. Want the trolley (55 × 40 × 23 / 10 kg)? That is Priority (or Plus / Smart). Confirm on wizzair.com before you fly.
