How does Wizz Air's carry-on limit compare?
By volume, Wizz Air's box is larger than 16 and smaller than 5 of the 27 carry-on limits on this site. Within a centimetre on every side, it is the same box as Air Canada, Lufthansa, SWISS, Aer Lingus and Turkish. Spirit, easyJet and Frontier publish the most generous limits. The tightest published limits are Icelandair, Ryanair and Breeze, so a bag bought for Wizz Air can fail there.

Frequently asked questions
What are the Wizz Air carry-on dimensions in inches?
Wizz Air publishes 55 x 40 x 23 cm, which is 21.7 x 15.7 x 9.1 in (converted). Compare in the unit Wizz Air publishes and keep the decimals: rounding a converted limit up is how a bag that fits on paper fails the sizer.
How strict is Wizz Air about carry-on size?
Wizz Air does not publish an enforcement policy, and gate checks vary by airport and by how full the flight is, so treat 55 x 40 x 23 cm as the rule rather than a guideline: a bag that goes into the sizer with wheels and handles has nothing to argue about. 2 of the 15 popular carry-ons checked on this page meet it when measured with wheels.
What is the Wizz Air personal item size limit?
Wizz Air limits the under-seat personal item to 40 x 30 x 20 cm and 10 kg (22 lb). It is a separate allowance from the carry-on; the Wizz Air personal item page on this site lists the bags that meet it.
What is the Wizz Air carry-on size limit?
Wizz Air’s own baggage page gives the carry-on limit as 55 x 40 x 23 cm. The trolley bag comes with WIZZ Priority. Wizz measures WITHOUT handles and wheels, but wheels may add no more than 5 cm. Measure the bag with wheels and handles, standing up, and compare the longest side with the longest limit.
Does Wizz Air weigh carry-on bags?
Wizz Air states a carry-on weight limit of 10 kg (22 lb). A packed hardside carry-on often weighs 15 to 25 lb, so check your packed weight with a luggage scale before leaving home if you are close to the limit.
Will a 22 x 14 x 9 inch bag fit Wizz Air?
No, not by the published figure. A 22 x 14 x 9 inch bag converts to 55.9 x 35.6 x 22.9 cm and is 0.9 cm over Wizz Air’s limit on its tightest side. A 21 inch carry-on around 53 to 54 cm tall is the safer choice for this airline.
Is the Wizz Air carry-on included in the fare?
On the page read for this site, the carry-on is a paid add-on on the cheapest fare. The personal item is the free allowance, so a bag that fits under the seat avoids the fee entirely.
Researched, not professional advice. Airline limits change without notice and can differ by route, aircraft and fare; the airline's own page is the final word.
