Wizz Air Overhead Cabin Baggage

55x40x23CM CARRY ON

Wizz Air Overhead Cabin Baggage

Wizz Air's overhead cabin bag allowance permits one piece of hand luggage measuring up to 55x40x23cm. This is a paid upgrade, available by adding a cabin bag to your booking or by holding a Wizz Air membership, and it allows you to store your bag in the overhead locker rather than under the seat.

For anyone travelling for more than a couple of nights, the overhead allowance gives you the packing room to travel carry-on only and avoid the cost and wait of checked baggage. Our cabin cases sized for this allowance are designed to maximise space within the 55x40x23cm dimensions.

Every Wizz Air passenger can bring one small carry-on bag measuring up to 40x30x20cm free of charge. This must fit under the seat in front of you and can be a small backpack, laptop bag or handbag. The size allowance does not include handles, though wheels must add no more than 5cm to the overall size.
Yes, Wizz Air's free carry-on bag has a maximum weight of 10kg, alongside the maximum dimensions of 40x30x20cm. The same 10kg limit applies to the overhead cabin bag if you have Wizz Priority.
With Wizz Priority you can bring an overhead cabin bag of up to 55x40x23cm, in addition to your free underseat carry-on. Without Wizz Priority, only the free underseat bag is permitted in the cabin.

Wizz Priority is an add-on that allows you to bring a second, larger bag into the cabin. Without it, you are limited to one small bag of up to 40x30x20cm under the seat. If you need overhead locker space or are travelling with more luggage, adding Wizz Priority to your booking is the only way to bring a larger cabin bag on board.
Yes, 55x40x20cm falls within Wizz Air's overhead cabin bag dimensions of 55x40x23cm, which is permitted in the overhead locker with Wizz Priority. Without Wizz Priority, only the smaller 40x30x20cm underseat bag is allowed in the cabin for free.
If your bag exceeds the 40x30x20cm free carry-on limit and you do not have Wizz Priority, Wizz Air staff may require you to check it into the hold at the airport. Wizz Air's airport baggage fees are significantly higher than buying in advance online, so it's worth getting the right bag size or adding the appropriate allowance before you fly.
