Wheels don’t count — up to a point

Wizz Air measures differently from the other airlines we cover. Wizz Air's size doesn't include handles or wheels, but wheels must add no more than 5 cm. So when you measure, take the size of the bag’s body first, then check how far the wheels stick out.

Wizz Air vs Ryanair

Wizz AirRyanair
Free under-seat bag 40 × 30 × 20 cm, 10 kg 40 × 30 × 20 cm, No numeric limit stated by Ryanair
Larger cabin bag 55 × 40 × 23 cm, 10 kg — WIZZ Priority 55 × 40 × 20 cm, 10 kg — Priority & 2 Cabin Bags

The free bag is the same size on both, but Wizz Air puts a number on its weight. The larger bag is 3 cm deeper on Wizz Air — a case that fits Wizz Air’s trolley bag may be too deep for Ryanair.

Check your bag against Wizz Air’s sizes

Bag size

Measure the outside of the bag, including wheels, handles and pockets. Any order is fine.

Leave blank if you don’t know.

If your bag is over the allowance

Wizz Air says the trolley bag is only available as part of WIZZ Priority. A bag that’s bigger than your allowance may have to go in the hold for a fee. We don’t show fees because they change; see Wizz Air’s cabin baggage page for current options.
