Wizz Air Baggage Fees 2023

Wizz Air Carry On 2023 - Cabin Bag Size & Weight Limit

When flying on Wizz Air, you can select for your fare class to update to a larger carry-on baggage allowance.

The Wizz Air Basic fare includes only a small carry-on bag of 40 x 30 x 20 cm, which must be placed under the seat in front of you. If you would like to bring a larger carry-on trolley bag, this is included in the Wizz Go and Wizz Plus fare bundles. These will allow you to bring a larger "standard" carry-on of 55 x 40 x 23 cm, in addition to the smaller 40 x 30 x 20 cm item. [AMZ asins='B00LB7REFK,B082K8ZNQ1,B07ZWLQF9T,B00NW62PCA']

Another option to add a carry-on trolley bag is to purchase "Wizz Priority", which includes priority boarding and a 55 x 40 x 23 cm carry-on item (max 10 kg). Priority will cost between €6.00 – ‎€42.00 if you buy online or through the Wizz Air Call Centre, or ‎€30.00 if you buy the service at the airport (price has gone up for 2023).

If you bring a larger carry-on bag without having purchased Wizz Priority, you may be charged an oversize carry-on fee of 30 EUR at the gate. If your carry-on bag exceeds the 55 x 40 x 23 cm dimensions, it will be placed into the hold of the aircraft and you will be charged a fee of 60 EUR.

You can also take the following items on board free of charge:

a coat or blanket
mobile phone
reading material for the flight
