Wizz Air Carry-On: Free Bag, 10 kg Limit and WIZZ Priority

Wizz Air allows a free 40×30×20 cm bag up to 10 kg. WIZZ Priority adds a 55×40×23 cm trolley. Compare both allowances and check your booking.

One small bag is free; a second, larger bag requires WIZZ Priority. The free bag is your personal item, so an ordinary handbag or laptop bag is not an extra free piece on top of it.

With Priority, these are two bags in total. Check the baggage line in your booking, including any bundle benefits. A checked bag is a separate allowance and does not by itself confirm permission for an overhead trolley.

Wheels, handles and the checker

Wizz Air excludes handles and wheels from its stated bag dimensions, but wheels may add no more than 5 cm. This is a specific exception, not an extra 5 cm on every side or permission to overfill the bag.

Measure the packed bag and its protruding parts separately. CarrySizer compares the published nominal box; it cannot decide whether a particular wheel/handle arrangement qualifies. For a borderline bag, confirm that exception with Wizz Air.

Choose the correct allowance

Check a free small bag or check a Priority trolley. Enter the actual dimensions and weight; choosing Priority in the tool does not add it to your ticket.

Use the price shown for your booking when comparing Priority and checked baggage. We do not have a verified route-specific fee quote; an unavailable fee in the calculator does not mean free baggage.

Before departure

  • Confirm the allowance for each flight and passenger in your booking.
  • Weigh both bags separately. The small bag also has a 10 kg limit.
  • Check liquids and restricted items separately from size. A larger bag does not permit larger liquid containers.
