Vueling Cabin Baggage & Hand Luggage Allowance

Everything you need to know about Vueling hand luggage, cabin bag sizes, and checked baggage fees — so you can travel without surprises.

Last updated: 31st May 2026

Vueling operates a low-cost airline model where the standard fare includes only a small personal item that fits beneath the seat in front.

Larger cabin bags and checked baggage are available as paid extras or may be included with selected fare bundles, making it important to understand what is included before travelling.

All passengers can bring one personal item measuring up to 40 x 20 x 30cm at no extra charge.

Travellers who purchase a higher fare, priority boarding or additional baggage options may also be permitted a larger cabin bag.

As with all airlines, liquids carried through airport security must be in containers of 100ml or less and comply with local airport screening requirements.

Checked baggage is available in a range of weight options, typically including 15kg, 20kg, 25kg and 30kg allowances.

Prices vary depending on route, season and when baggage is added to the booking. Purchasing baggage online in advance is usually significantly cheaper than paying airport rates.

For travellers looking to avoid unexpected charges, checking exactly what is included with your fare before travelling is the simplest way to ensure a smooth and stress-free airport experience.

Checked baggage with Vueling: what you need to know

Vueling offers flexible checked baggage options that can be added during booking or after purchase. Passengers can choose from 15kg, 20kg, 25kg or 30kg bags depending on their needs.

Prices vary based on route, demand and when the baggage is added, with online booking offering the lowest cost. Airport pricing is significantly higher, so it’s worth planning ahead.

Each checked bag must not exceed a total dimension of 158cm (height + width + depth), including handles and wheels. If your bag exceeds the purchased weight, excess fees apply per kilogram, up to a maximum of 32kg.

Key checked baggage tips:

Book baggage online to save up to 50%
Choose weight carefully — upgrading later can cost more
Keep valuables and essentials in your cabin bag
Avoid exceeding size limits to prevent reclassification as special luggage

Vueling cabin baggage rules: liquids, extras and restrictions

All Vueling passengers can bring one underseat cabin bag free of charge. Larger cabin bags must either be included in your fare or purchased separately.

Liquids in hand luggage must follow standard airport security rules.

Each container must be no larger than 100ml, and all liquids must fit within a single transparent resealable bag (maximum 1 litre total).

At security, this bag must be removed and screened separately.

CabinCleared kits are designed specifically to meet these rules, helping you pass through security quickly without repacking.
