Baggage fees

No reliable fixed price is listed here. Check your booking for the cost of adding a bag; an unlisted price does not mean it is free.

Official baggage policy
How to use this policy

Check cabin bag dimensions, weight and personal-item limits separately. A bag has to pass every published limit at once; being under the length and width limit does not help if the depth, weight, or fare-specific allowance is tighter.

Editorial signal only. Leave margin instead of relying on discretionary gate behavior.

flydubai liquids policy

flydubai publishes containers no larger than 100 ml in a clear zipper/slider bag; check departure and transit security rules and medicine/infant-food conditions.

Family & Infants

Infant (under 2)

The baggage page grants 5 kg cabin baggage under 55×38×20 cm and 10 kg checked baggage when the fare includes baggage. Confirm the infant entitlement for the booked fare; do not assume a universal 10% infant fare.

Stroller

One fully collapsible stroller free as part of checked baggage when the child/infant is on the same booking; tag at check-in. Visa-change bookings are excluded from this hold option. A cabin stroller must meet cabin size/weight and depends on available space.

Car seat

Approved car-type seat use for ages 7 days to 3 years requires the published installation conditions, clearance at least 48 hours before flight and check-in approval. For an infant under 2, buy a separate seat at the child fare. Free hold carriage not established.

Lite excludes checked baggage, not the main cabin bag. Value normally 20 kg checked, Flex 30 kg with route caveats, Business 40 kg total, not one 40 kg suitcase. Check the ticket and partner rules. Gate excess charge does not purchase a larger cabin entitlement.
