flydubai Baggage Allowance 2026

Economy checked allowance runs 0 kg on Lite, 20 kg on Value and 30 kg on Flex, while Business includes 40 kg. Every fare carries hand baggage: 7 kg in Economy and 14 kg over 2 bags in Business. The fare table adds that the allowance may vary by route, without naming routes.

flydubai sells allowances by total weight, so 20 kg on Value can be split across up to 3 bags.

Economy passengers get 1 hand bag of up to 7 kg measuring no more than 55 x 38 x 20 cm. The rule covers Lite, Value and Flex alike. The airline doesn't say whether wheels and handles count toward those dimensions, so measure the bag as it stands.

A personal item may measure up to 25 x 33 x 20 cm and must fit under the seat in front. Three types qualify: a laptop bag, a small handbag or a satchel. It sits inside the hand baggage allowance, and no separate weight is published for it. One duty-free shopping bag is also allowed within that allowance.

Lite is the only fare with zero checked baggage; bags on Lite are sold at a charge. Value adds 20 kg and Flex 30 kg, and both keep the 7 kg hand bag. Business doubles hand baggage to 2 pieces and raises checked weight to 40 kg. Seat selection is included on Flex and Business but charged on Lite and Value.

Each checked piece must weigh under 32 kg, and its height, width and depth together can't exceed 203 cm. You can spread your allowance over up to 3 pieces. Anything larger than 203 cm has to travel as cargo.

At the airport, excess baggage from Dubai costs AED 50 or AED 70 per kg depending on the destination zone. GCC, Saudi Arabia, Africa and the Subcontinent are AED 50; the Middle East, Southeast Asia and Europe/CIS are AED 70. Asmara is priced separately at AED 250 per kg. Buying online through Manage booking can save up to 70%, up to six hours before departure, though bundle prices aren't listed.

Some airports take excess baggage payment in cash only.

AED 200 (USD 55) per item is the fee when a hand bag goes over the size or weight limit. Staff check all hand baggage, duty-free purchases included, for both size and weight. A 7 kg scale reading matters as much as the 55 x 38 x 20 cm frame.

Infants get 5 kg of hand baggage and 10 kg of checked baggage when the fare includes baggage. The infant hand bag must stay under 55 x 38 x 20 cm. One fully collapsible stroller travels free with a child or infant.

No extra fee applies: sports equipment travels free as part of your checked allowance, with excess rates only when total weight goes over. Each item can weigh up to 32 kg and measure up to 300 cm in total. Pre-book at least 24 hours before departure, and acceptance depends on space.

No pets fly in the cabin. Falcons are the exception and need special prior approval. Other pets and live animals ship through flydubai Cargo, whose rates are not published on the baggage pages. Seeing-eye dogs for passengers with visual impairments fly in the cabin free with 72 hours notice; other service animals go in the cargo compartment.

Falcons are the only animals flydubai may accept in the cabin besides seeing-eye dogs.

150 cm total dimensions is the cap on interline partner bookings that use the piece concept. Bags from 150 to 203 cm pay oversize fees, and anything larger goes as cargo. No extra baggage for Emirates Skywards or other loyalty tiers appears on the baggage pages.
