Flybe: ceased operations and historical baggage information

Flybe stopped operating in January 2023. Historical baggage figures are not an allowance for a new journey.

Flybe ceased operations on 28 January 2023. Its administrator announced that it could no longer fly or accept bookings and that its flights were cancelled. See the administrator's announcement and the UK Civil Aviation Authority's Flybe entry.

Which baggage rules should you use?

Use the operating airline named in your current reservation. Old Flybe dimensions, weight limits and fees do not establish an allowance on a different carrier, even on a former Flybe route.

CarrySizer retains the airline record for historical context. The old baggage figures have not been reverified as historical policy in this review and must not be treated as current travel instructions.

Preparing a new journey

Check the airport code, operating airline, fare and included baggage on every leg. Find the relevant carrier in the airline directory, then use the cabin-bag checker for that active airline. The checker does not determine any entitlement under an old Flybe ticket.

For an unresolved historical booking, consult the CAA information linked above and the relevant booking or payment provider. This page does not promise a refund or resolve an individual claim.
