Wizz Carry-on Cabin Baggage
Wizz Air charges a carry-on luggage fee, but everyone can bring one personal item — like a laptop, diaper bag, or oversize fanny pack — aboard. However, it cannot be larger than 40cm x 30 cm x 20cm, and it can’t weigh more than 10 kilograms.
If you want to bring carry-on luggage without paying an additional fee, purchase a Wizz Priority, Go, or Superior ticket. Upgrading won’t get you a better cabin, but the levels come with boarding and luggage perks.
If you don’t opt for the upgraded ticket, cabin luggage will cost you. Depending on the time of year and route, Wizz Air carry-on luggage is about 5-35€, if bought ahead of time. The cost jumps to 20€ or more at the airport. Cabin baggage cannot be larger than 55cm x 40cm x 23 cm nor weigh more than 10 kilograms.
Wizz Air ticket holders can always bring the following items aboard:
- Blanket
- Coat
- Mobile phone
- Book or magazine for in-flight reading
- Foldable baby stroller
- Food for baby
- Crutches for injured parties

Wizz Excess Baggage Policies
Travelers on Wizz Air can also book extra baggage spots. However, six is the maximum, and no item can be larger than 149cm x 119cm x 171cm. In other words, if you have seven suitcases, Wizz will only let you check six, and you’ll have to find another way to get that last piece where it needs to go.

Wizz Sports Equipment Baggage Policy
For an extra fee, Wizz Air passengers can check certain sporting equipment items. If you book the space through the call center or online portal, it costs €40. If you wait to do it at the airport check-in desk, the price jumps to between €20 and €60.
Sports equipment allowed on Wizz flights includes skiing and snowboarding gear, jumping poles, golf clubs and shoes, properly dismantled and packed bicycles, diving equipment with emptied canisters, and hunting trophies with the proper veterinary certificates.

Alternative to Excess Baggage Fees
Which would you rather: lumbering through the airport with carts of luggage that will cost a fortune to check or gliding through knowing your stuff safely arrived at the desired destination — and you got it there for half the price?
