This larger hand luggage must fit in the overhead compartments. If you need it, book this second bag ahead of time, as it costs more at the airport.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Vueling strict about hand luggage?

Yes, Vueling is very strict with hand luggage size rules. Every passenger can take one free small cabin bag up to 40 x 30 x 20 cm, including handles and wheels. This bag must fit under the seat in front.

If your hand luggage exceeds these dimensions, Vueling can charge an extra fee and usually will check it into the hold. To avoid last-minute costs and boarding delays, measure your bag before going to the airport.

For those who need more space, Vueling offers Fly and Fly Grande fares, or Premium membership. This allows an extra, larger hand luggage (up to 55 x 40 x 20 cm, including handles and wheels), for the overhead compartment. You can also buy this extra bag on its own, but it's always cheaper to book in advance than at the airport.

Is a women's handbag counted as hand luggage?

Yes, under Vueling policy, a handbag, laptop bag or any personal item is counted as the one free small piece of cabin luggage. The maximum dimensions for this free item are 40 x 30 x 20 cm and it must go under the seat.

What if my hand luggage is a bit too big?

If your cabin bag is even slightly above Vueling's size allowance, you may have to check it into the hold and pay an extra fee. The maximum size for free hand luggage is 40 x 30 x 20 cm, including handles and wheels. Any bag too large for under the seat won’t be allowed in the cabin for free.

Do I need to pay extra for Vueling hand luggage?

Vueling allows one small cabin bag (40 x 30 x 20 cm) for free. If you want to take an extra large cabin bag (55 x 40 x 20 cm), you need a Fly or Fly Grande fare, or to be a Premium customer. For the latest and most accurate details, check Vueling’s website.
