Wizz Air is one of the strictest and cheapest airlines, so the bag rules matter. Here is 2026.
Wizz Air's two bag sizes
- Free carry-on: 40 x 30 x 20 cm, up to 10kg, under the seat. Every passenger gets this.
- Trolley bag: 55 x 40 x 23 cm, up to 10kg, in the overhead locker. This needs WIZZ Priority added to your fare.
What fits?
Most backpacks are too tall for the 40cm free bag but fit the 55 x 40 x 23 cm Priority trolley allowance. Our Vacuum Compression Pack (49 x 32 x 15 cm, opening to 20 cm) fits the Priority allowance comfortably, and its pump compresses a week of clothes so you never need the hold.
Avoiding the fees
Wizz charges at the gate if your bag is oversized, and it is not cheap. Measure your bag at home, and if you only have the free allowance, pack light and flat. A crossbody sling fits the free bag easily and keeps your valuables safe.
