SunExpress carry-on rules by fare
SunLight
SunLight includes only a 4 kg under-seat bag; the 8 kg cabin bag comes with SunValue and higher fares, or as an add-on.
Higher fares
Bundles and higher fares add the carry-on; otherwise you buy it separately.
Tips for flying SunExpress
- •Measure your packed bag, wheels and handles included; many suitcases sold as "22-inch" are taller with the wheels.
- •SunExpress's personal item limit is on the small side, so a typical laptop backpack may be too deep.
- •Weigh your bag at home: SunExpress has a 8 kg (17.6 lb) carry-on limit.
- •Add the carry-on when you book. It usually costs more later and the most at the gate.
