French Bee Cabin Bag Size 2026: Free Bag, Fees, Rules

French Bee's carry-on limit is 55 x 35 x 25 cm (21.7 x 13.8 x 9.8 in). Every fare includes it, from Bee Light up to Premium Flex, along with one personal item. Large backpacks don't count as carry-on bags. The airline doesn't say whether wheels and handles are part of the measurement, so measure the bag with them on.

On its English site, French Bee lists the carry-on size in inches first, followed by the centimeter figures.

A personal item on French Bee can measure up to 40 x 30 x 15 cm (15.7 x 11.8 x 5.9 in) and must fit under the seat in front. The help center lists a handbag, a laptop, a coat or a camera as examples. Its weight counts toward the shared 12 kg cabin limit.

Yes, the cabin limit is 12 kg (26 lbs), and that covers the carry-on and personal item together, not each bag. A cabin bag that breaks the size, weight or item-count rules gets charged as an extra bag and goes in the hold.

All six fares include one carry-on and one personal item at 12 kg combined. Bee Light carries no checked bag. Bee Smart and Bee Flex add one 23 kg checked bag, and Premium Smart and Premium Flex add two. Bee Light+ is marked as a conflict: the fare page and help center exclude a checked bag, while the second-bag page says one is included.

Bee Light+ differs from Bee Light by adding meals on La Réunion routes only.

On flights to New York, Miami, Los Angeles and San Francisco, a first checked bag costs $70 at booking, $90 if added later and $140 at the airport. Prices change by route: 60 EUR at booking for Réunion, 75 CAD for Montreal and 100 EUR for Papeete. A second bag starts at 75 EUR one way when added 48 hours or more before departure.

French Bee counts Paris to Papeete as two trips, Paris to San Francisco and San Francisco to Papeete, so bag fees apply on each leg.

Each checked bag can weigh 23 kg (50 lbs) and measure 158 cm in total height, width and length. Weight doesn't pool, so two bags can't share 46 kg unevenly. The heaviest piece French Bee accepts is 32 kg, and only with an excess baggage fee. Infants under 2 get a 10 kg checked allowance.

No overweight or oversize fee is published. French Bee accepts bags up to 32 kg subject to an excess baggage fee, but its pages give no amount, and the help center asks you to contact the airline about any bag over 23 kg or 158 cm.

Yes. Dogs and cats up to 8 kg (17 lbs), carrier included, can fly in the cabin for $100 per trip in a container no larger than 43 x 35 x 20 cm. Heavier dogs and cats go in the hold for $195 per trip, up to 75 kg on transatlantic flights. Pets can't fly to or from Papeete, and French bulldogs are barred from the hold.

Animal transport is not available on any flight to or from Papeete, Tahiti.

Up to 2 trained service animals can travel with each passenger, and French Bee states that it accepts only trained service animals. Emotional support animals are not accepted for transport, so the service animal rule does not extend to them.

Yes. 1 approved car seat or stroller travels free on any fare, either a standard stroller checked into the hold or a foldable cabin-size one. Infants under 2 also get their own 10 kg checked allowance.

Standard sports equipment up to 23 kg costs 75 EUR one way when booked 48 hours or more ahead, or 100 EUR closer to departure. Large items up to 32 kg start at 100 EUR, or 145 EUR inside 48 hours. Surfboards and bicycles never fit inside the regular bag allowance. Surfboards up to 32 kg carry no extra weight charge.

French Bee checks all three cabin limits: size, weight and number of items. A bag over 55 x 35 x 25 cm or above the 12 kg total is charged as an extra bag. When a flight is full, staff may offer to check a compliant cabin bag for free, leaving you one small item of up to 40 x 30 x 20 cm on board.
