Tips for flying Wizz Air
- •Measure your packed bag, wheels and handles included; many suitcases sold as "22-inch" are taller with the wheels.
- •Wizz Air's personal item limit is on the small side, so a typical laptop backpack may be too deep.
- •Weigh your bag at home: Wizz Air has a 10 kg (22 lb) carry-on limit.
- •Add the carry-on when you book. It usually costs more later and the most at the gate.
