Baggage allowance and rules

What baggage is included in your ticket, how to add baggage, and what you can take on board.

How can I check which baggage is included in my ticket?

When booking a flight, you can see which baggage is included in the ticket price. You can also check the dimensions, weight and price of additional baggage and purchase it along with your ticket.

If you have already purchased your ticket, check the booking confirmation sent by email or open your order. It lists the services purchased for each passenger.

Cabin baggage

Passengers take cabin baggage into the aircraft cabin. Depending on the fare, this may be a small bag placed under the seat in front or an additional suitcase stored in the overhead compartment.

Before travelling to the airport, check the dimensions and weight permitted for your booking. Depending on the airline's rules, wheels, handles and external pockets also count towards baggage dimensions.

Checked baggage is handed over at the airport before security screening. It may be included in the fare or purchased separately; permitted weights and number of bags vary.

If you need additional baggage, it is best to arrange it in advance. It often costs more at the airport, and some options may not be available.

Liquids and prohibited items

Liquids in cabin baggage

Water, perfume and liquid cosmetics are subject to airport security requirements. Contact details and information about your airport are available in our Airports section.

Batteries and dangerous items

Special restrictions apply to lithium batteries, spare batteries, flammable liquids and other items. Power banks should generally be carried in cabin baggage.

Baggage for children and infants

Separate rules may apply to pushchairs, child car seats and other baby equipment. Check with the relevant airline.

Sports equipment and musical instruments

Bicycles, skis, musical instruments and other oversized items should be booked in advance, as space may be limited.

If your bag exceeds the permitted dimensions or weight

The airline may charge an additional fee at the airport or require you to check the bag into the hold. We recommend weighing and measuring your baggage before departure.

How do I add baggage to my booking?

You can select and purchase additional baggage while booking your flight. Its dimensions, weight and price will be shown before payment. If you have already purchased your ticket, contact our support team and provide your WF order number, passenger name, route and required baggage weight. We will check availability and price. Baggage costs more after booking than during the booking process. It may sometimes be purchased at the airport ticket desk, depending on the airline, but this can be more expensive.

We recommend adding baggage in advance: it often costs more at the airport, and some options may be unavailable.

Practical questions before your flight

How much liquid can I take through cabin baggage security screening?

Liquids are subject to the security rules of the airport. You can find contact details for your departure airport in our Airports section.

Can I take perfume or cosmetics on board?

Yes. Perfume, creams, gels and other liquid cosmetics can be carried in cabin baggage. At most European airports, each container must hold no more than 100 ml, and all liquids must fit into one transparent, resealable bag with a capacity of up to 1 litre.

Duty-free purchases. Perfume, cosmetics and other liquids purchased after airport security or on board may be carried in containers larger than 100 ml. For any subsequent security screening, the items and receipt must remain inside the shop's special sealed security bag.

During connections, do not open the bag until you reach your final destination. If you go through security again, staff may inspect the contents. Requirements may differ between countries.

Does my booking include a suitcase?

It depends on the fare you purchased. A small underseat bag and a larger cabin suitcase are separate allowances. Check the number and weight of bags listed in your confirmation. Start by opening your confirmation email or your order.

Can I add another suitcase after purchasing my ticket?

Contact support with your WF order number, the passenger's name and the desired baggage weight. We will check the price. Some airlines also allow additional baggage to be purchased at the airport.

Where should I carry a power bank?

Power banks should generally be carried in cabin baggage, not checked baggage. Check the airline's rules for battery capacity and quantity limits.
