Wizz Air's baggage policy reflects its ultra-low-cost model. A cabin bag is included free with all fares, measuring 40×30×20 cm and weighing up to 10 kg, and must fit under the seat in front of you. Checked baggage is not included in the basic fare and is offered in separate weight tiers purchased as ancillaries. Excess baggage over your purchased allowance costs €13 per kilogram. Oversized cabin bags that do not fit under the seat incur a gate fee of €65.
