Larger hand luggage
Passengers who pay for Wizz Priority or buy tickets on WIZZ Go or WIZZ Plus & Flex are entitled to a second piece of hand luggage. In this case, you can take an extra bag with you with the specified dimensions 55 x 40 x 23 cm.
Again, the weight must not exceed 10 kg.
The Wizz Priority service includes not only 2 hand luggage, but also priority boarding so that you can place your luggage conveniently in the overhead bin.
The service costs around 40 eur per passenger and flight. The specific amount may be lower or higher, depending on the distance of the flight.
An alternative to a second larger carry-on bag is checked baggage up to 10 kg, which works out slightly cheaper.
Checks are random but very frequent. If your luggage does not meet the dimensions, you will have to pay extra for a check-in or small carry-on upgrade at Gat. Fees range from 50 eur to 80 eur.

On Wizz Air, each passenger can purchase up to 6 checked bags. There are the following weight categories to choose from:

Please note, however, that each passenger can carry a maximum of 1 piece of 10 kg luggage or up to 6 pieces of luggage of a different weight category.
The price for a 10 kg bag is around 35 eur per flight. The price for a 20 kg bag is about 60 eur and the price difference between 26 kg and 32 kg baggage is no more than 5 eur. The specific price depends on the length of the route.

Carriage of animals
With the exception of assistance dogs for the visually impaired, no animals of any kind are allowed on Wizz Air.
