Flybe is a low cost airline, and as all experienced budget travellers know, that means we need to pay extra attention to what we pack and more importantly, what we pack it in. Keep reading to see all you need to know about Flybe hand luggage and checked baggage allowances including information about the special student baggage deal offered.
If you’re looking for information about other airlines baggage allowances see our Luggage Size and Weight Limits by Airline post.
Flybe Hand Luggage Allowance
Each passenger flying with the Essentials or New Economy fare is allowed to bring 1 piece of cabin luggage with the maximum dimensions of 55 x 35 x 20cm and a maximum weight of 10kg. Plus fare passengers may bring aboard the standard piece of cabin luggage as well as a laptop at no extra fee.
Take note that if you’re flying with a Stobart Air operated service, the maximum dimensions are 49 x 37 x 22cm and a maximum weight of 7kg. While, if you’re flyings with a Loganair operated service, the maximum dimensions are 40 x 35 x 18cm and a maximum weight of 6kg.
There are bag gauges at Flybe check-in desks and at the boarding gate that specify the size restrictions. Any bags that exceed the baggage allowance, either by size or weight, will be checked at an extra fee of £50.
Flybe Checked Baggage Allowance
The checked baggage allowance depends on the fare of each passenger. Passengers traveling on the Essentials fare do not have a hold bag included in the price of their ticket. During the online booking process checked baggage can be bought at a reduced price compared to airport prices. Essentials fare passengers can choose to buy 15kg, 20kg, 23kg, or 40kg (distributed in 2 bags) if they wish to check a bag.
“Get more” fare passengers have 20kg of checked baggage included in the price of their ticket and may upgrade the amount of hold weight at an extra charge.
“All in” plus fare passengers can bring up to 40kg of hold luggage distributed in 2 bags.
There are no size restrictions, but overweight baggage will incur a fee of £15/€20 per excess kilo.
Flybe Student Baggage Deal
Students residing in Jersey, Guernsey, Isle of Man and Belfast City and traveling on routes to and from Jersey, Guernsey, Isle of Man and Belfast City can upgrade the amount of checked baggage from 20kg to 40kg for free by showing their student I.D. at the airport bag drop desk. Students traveling on the Essentials fare must buy 20kg of checked luggage online during the booking process and at the airport this amount will be upgraded to 40kg for free.

Hi Carla C., excuse me, but can you tell me where I can find someone who can answer on my questions from your company? I have send yesterday questions on facebook and through your web page costumer service, still no answers and it is emerge. That is a reason because I delay with buying tickets because I need first answers from you company? I will repeat my questions in the segment below:
1. I can not find an option for taking ticket with “checked baggage (23kg)”, I only get option for buying ticket “without checked luggage”, please let me know how to take that option? If it is possible extra I would like to know can I do it directly with Austria airlines or I through Edreams?
2. Except “total price” and “Credit card fee”, is there any other expenses that will be charged?
Sincerely
