Wizz Air Cabin Bag Size 2026: Free Bag, Fees, Rules

Every passenger gets one free cabin bag of up to 40 x 30 x 20 cm and 10 kg, and it goes under the seat in front of you. Wizz Air calls this the Carry-on Bag. A bigger 55 x 40 x 23 cm trolley bag, also capped at 10 kg, rides in the overhead bin, but only if you buy WIZZ Priority.

Wizz Air sells overhead-bin space only through WIZZ Priority, so a standard ticket covers the under-seat bag alone.

The free bag must measure 40 x 30 x 20 cm or less and weigh up to 10 kg. Wizz Air gives a laptop bag, purse, briefcase or small backpack as examples. On top of it you may carry a coat or blanket, a phone, reading material and duty-free bought airside. A neck pillow is the exception: it has to fit inside your allowance.

Both cabin bags have a 10 kg limit: the free 40 x 30 x 20 cm bag and the 55 x 40 x 23 cm WIZZ Priority trolley. Wizz Air states that bags exceeding its size limits are charged extra fees, but the help page gives no amount for that charge.

A basic ticket includes only the free 40 x 30 x 20 cm under-seat bag. WIZZ Go and WIZZ Plus bundle a checked bag into the fare, though the help page doesn't say which weight option comes with each. The 55 x 40 x 23 cm trolley bag is part of WIZZ Priority and can't be bought on its own.

No fixed checked bag fee is published on Wizz Air's help pages. The price appears while you book and varies with the flight. You can pay for up to 3 bags online and add more at the airport, to a maximum of 6 per passenger. Buying WIZZ Go or WIZZ Plus puts a checked bag into the fare.

Checked bags come in four weights: 10, 20, 26 or 32 kg. Each passenger may buy only one 10 kg bag but can take up to 6 checked bags in total. Wizz Air publishes the maximum checked bag size as 149 x 119 x 171 cm.

The 10 kg checked bag is capped at one per passenger, unlike the heavier weight options.

Wizz Air charges 13 EUR per kg at the airport when a bag goes over the weight you paid for, in the 10 to 20 kg band or the 20 to 32 kg band. Nothing over 32 kg is listed as a checked option. A cabin bag over its size limit draws an extra fee whose amount the help page doesn't state.

No. Wizz Air carries 0 pets in the cabin or hold, and it does not accept emotional support animals. The single exception is a certified guide or assistance dog for a disabled passenger, which flies free on flights within the European Union. Only one is allowed per flight, and the paperwork is due 48 hours before departure. The dog must not occupy a seat.

Wizz Air limits assistance dogs to one per flight.

The 40 x 30 x 20 cm limit is firm: Wizz Air says bags that exceed it will be charged extra fees. The same applies to the 55 x 40 x 23 cm trolley. A neck pillow carried separately also counts against the allowance, so pack it inside the bag. The fee amount is not published.

Infants aged 0 to 2 get food for the flight plus a foldable stroller or small crib free, on top of the 40 x 30 x 20 cm bag. The stroller or crib only goes as far as the aircraft door or steps, so it travels in the hold rather than the cabin.
