Loganair cabin baggage rules: hand luggage, checked bags & liquids
Everything you need to know about Loganair cabin baggage rules, hand luggage sizes, liquid restrictions and packing smarter for stress-free travel.
Loganair is the UK's largest regional airline, operating a network that includes many smaller airports and island communities where baggage allowances can differ from those typically found on larger airlines.
For most Loganair flights, passengers can bring one cabin bag weighing up to 6kg and measuring no more than 40 × 35 × 18cm. Fly and Fly Flex passengers may also carry a small handbag, while Fly Flex+ passengers can bring a small handbag and a slimline laptop bag in addition to their 6kg cabin bag.
One important point to remember is that Loganair operates a variety of regional aircraft, some with limited cabin storage. On certain flights, your cabin bag may therefore need to be placed in the hold before boarding. Loganair advises keeping important documents, valuables, medication and other essential items with you.
Liquids, aerosols and gels carried through airport security should generally be in containers of 100ml or less. Individual liquid containers should fit comfortably inside one transparent, resealable bag no larger than 1 litre, which must be presented separately when required at airport security.
Checked baggage is included with Loganair's main fares. On most routes, Fly passengers receive 15kg of hold luggage, Fly Flex passengers receive 23kg, and Fly Flex+ passengers receive 30kg, alongside the standard 6kg cabin allowance. However, special restrictions apply on services to Barra, Tiree and Campbeltown, and on Orkney inter-island flights, where the baggage allowance is 15kg in total across unlimited pieces because of aircraft capacity constraints.
For cabin-baggage travellers, Loganair's 6kg limit is particularly important. Although the permitted cabin-bag dimensions are compact, the weight allowance can be more restrictive than those of some larger airlines.
Packing travel-sized toiletries and keeping liquids organised can help make the most of the available space while staying prepared for airport security.

Key Loganair Baggage Tips
Watch the 6kg cabin-bag limit. Loganair's standard cabin allowance is one bag weighing up to 6kg and measuring no more than 40 × 35 × 18cm.
Check what your fare includes in addition to the main cabin bag. Fly and Fly Flex passengers can take a small handbag, while Fly Flex+ passengers can also take a slimline laptop bag.
Don't assume your cabin bag will stay with you. Loganair operates smaller regional aircraft on parts of its network, and cabin bags may need to be placed in the hold when cabin storage is restricted.
Keep essentials separate and accessible. Carry passports, medication, valuables and important electronics in your handbag or other permitted personal item where your fare allows, particularly in case your main cabin bag has to travel in the hold.
Remember that checked baggage is already included. On most routes, the standard allowances are 15kg with Fly, 23kg with Fly Flex and 30kg with Fly Flex+.
Don't confuse your total allowance with the maximum weight of one suitcase. Loganair states that an individual checked bag must not weigh more than 25kg, even where your overall allowance is higher.
Check carefully if you're flying to Barra, Tiree or Campbeltown, or between the Orkney Islands. These services have aircraft-specific restrictions and a 15kg total baggage allowance across unlimited pieces, rather than the normal combination of cabin and checked allowances.
Pack liquids, gels and aerosols with airport security in mind. Unless different arrangements apply at your departure airport, use containers of 100ml or less and follow that airport's current security requirements. CabinCleared travel-size toiletries can help keep these essentials organised and security-ready.
Need more hold luggage? Arrange it before travelling where available. Loganair currently allows an additional piece of checked baggage weighing up to 15kg to be purchased on eligible services.
Buying additional baggage online is normally cheaper. Loganair currently lists the additional 15kg bag at £25 through Manage My Booking, compared with £30 when arranged through a third-party agent or the Loganair Customer Help Centre.
Don't rely on being able to prebook extra baggage on every route. Additional luggage cannot be prebooked on certain aircraft-restricted services, including flights to or from Barra, Campbeltown and Tiree and within the Orkney Islands.
Cabin baggage sizes explained
Understanding the difference between small cabin bags, cabin suitcases and checked baggage helps you pack efficiently and avoid delays at the airport.

Checked baggage with Loganair: what you need to know
Unlike many airlines, Loganair includes checked baggage with every standard fare, although the amount you can take depends on the fare you choose.
With a Fly fare, you can check in up to 15kg of hold luggage. Fly Flex increases the allowance to 23kg, while Fly Flex+ provides up to 30kg of checked baggage on most routes.
Your overall baggage allowance does not mean that one suitcase can necessarily weigh the full amount. Loganair states that the maximum weight of an individual checked bag is 25kg, regardless of your fare or any additional luggage you have purchased.
Different restrictions apply on some of Loganair's smaller-aircraft services. Flights to Barra, Tiree and Campbeltown, and Orkney inter-island services, have a total baggage allowance of up to 15kg across unlimited pieces because of aircraft capacity constraints.
If your included allowance isn't enough, Loganair allows passengers on eligible services to pre-book one additional piece of hold luggage weighing up to 15kg. This currently costs £25 when booked online through Manage My Booking, or £30 when requested through a third-party agent or the Loganair Customer Help Centre.
Additional luggage cannot be pre-booked for flights to or from Barra, Campbeltown or Tiree, or on services within the Orkney Isles, because of aircraft constraints. If you're travelling on one of these routes, don't assume that additional baggage can simply be added to your booking.
Passengers travelling with an infant can carry one foldable pram or pushchair and one car seat per infant, as well as the infant's 15kg hold luggage allowance. Children aged over two are also entitled to the standard 15kg hold allowance, although any pram or car seat is included within that allowance.
If you're travelling on a through-booking involving one of Loganair's airline partners, your baggage allowance may be determined by the airline operating the longest flight sector.
Check the allowance shown on your booking rather than assuming Loganair's standard allowance will apply throughout your journey.
Before travelling, make sure checked bags are securely packed and labelled, and keep medication, important documents, cash, valuables and laptops out of your checked baggage. Loganair recommends carrying these important items with you in your cabin luggage.
Loganair cabin baggage rules: liquids, extras and restrictions
Loganair includes cabin baggage with all of its standard fares. Your main cabin bag must weigh under 6kg and measure no more than 40 × 35 × 18cm, so that it can fit in an overhead locker or beneath the seat.
Passengers travelling on Fly and Fly Flex fares can also carry a small handbag. Fly Flex+ passengers can carry a small handbag plus a slimline laptop bag in addition to their main 6kg cabin bag.
Liquids, aerosols and gels carried through airport security should generally be in containers of 100ml or less and packed in accordance with the security requirements at your departure airport. This includes everyday toiletries such as shampoo, shower gel, toothpaste, deodorant, skincare products and cosmetics.
CabinCleared travel toiletries are designed around these airport liquid restrictions, making it easier to pack everyday essentials in travel-sized containers while keeping your liquids organised and ready for security.
One particularly important Loganair consideration is the type and size of aircraft used across its regional network. On certain flights, your cabin bag may need to be placed in the hold because of limited cabin storage. Loganair states that these bags will be returned to passengers at the bottom of the aircraft steps on arrival.
For that reason, keep important documents, cash, valuables, medication and laptops in your cabin baggage and make sure essential items remain accessible if your main bag needs to be transferred to the hold.
Pay particular attention to lithium batteries and power banks. Spare lithium batteries must be carried in cabin baggage and protected against short circuits. Loganair currently permits a maximum of two power banks, each not exceeding 160Wh. Power banks must be individually protected, carried in cabin baggage only and must not be used to charge devices while onboard.
Cabin baggage is also subject to aviation-security restrictions. Items such as firearms, certain sharp objects, workmen's tools, blunt instruments and explosives cannot normally be carried through airport security and into the aircraft cabin. If you're unsure about a particular item, check Loganair's prohibited-items guidance before travelling.
Common cabin baggage mistakes to avoid
Exceeding Loganair's 6kg cabin baggage limit.
Using a cabin bag larger than 40 × 35 × 18cm.
Assuming a larger personal item or backpack is automatically permitted in addition to the main cabin bag when Loganair specifies a small handbag for Fly and Fly Flex fares.
Forgetting that Fly Flex+ permits a small handbag and slimline laptop bag in addition to the main cabin bag.
Packing liquids, aerosols or gels without checking the security requirements at your departure airport.
Assuming your cabin bag is guaranteed to remain in the cabin on every Loganair aircraft.
Packing important documents, cash, medication or valuables where they could become inaccessible if your cabin bag has to be placed in the hold.
Putting spare lithium batteries or power banks in checked baggage rather than cabin baggage.
Failing to protect spare batteries and power banks against short circuits.
Attempting to use a power bank onboard, which Loganair currently prohibits.
Packing sharp objects, tools or other restricted articles in cabin baggage without checking whether they are permitted.
