Wizz Air to Charge for Onboard Baggage

Posted on July 10th, 2012. Written by bookingbusinesstravel.

The normal practise of charging for check-in baggage is understandable because the airline incurs a charge too.

But Wizz Air is to charge a fee of EUR10 to carry on anything larger than a laptop size bag of 42x32x25cm

And the weight restriction will be just 10kg

The trial is on Luton – Katowice services for bookings made on or after from the 9th July 2012 for travel from 1st August onwards

The large cabin bag dimension for which you now have to pay the fee is 55x40x20cm

We think this is a step too far.

The airline thinks we’ll carry less as a result but really, 10kg is next to nothing!

When using our popular flight search, remember that you need to add approximately £16
