Baggage policy

Hand baggage check

Each passenger can only take one piece or item of hand baggage, plus a small laptop bag or handbag, on board.

Your hand baggage must not weigh more than 7 kg or be larger than 56 cm x 45 cm x 25 cm. The weight and size of your hand baggage will be checked to ensure it can be placed in the overhead locker or safely under the seat directly in front of you.

Oversized hand baggage can be checked into the aircraft hold at the flydubai check-in desk at the applicable per kilo rate.

Pre-purchased checked baggage

You can pre-purchase a 20 kg checked baggage allowance. Subject to availability, a 30 kg or a 40 kg checked baggage allowance can be pre-purchased.

You can check-in up to three pieces, but the combined weight of all pieces must not exceed your pre-purchased checked baggage allowance. No single piece should be larger than 75 cm x 55 cm x 35 cm or weigh more than 32 kg. Subject to availability, additional weight or pieces will be charged at the applicable per kilo rate.

Your checked baggage allowance can be pre-purchased at a discount via the website or through the call centre up to 4 hours before departure. So don't forget, it pays to pre-pay.

At the airport, you just need to have your documents checked and your bags weighed and measured, pick-up your baggage receipt and make your way to the departure gate.

Airport baggage rates

Subject to availability, at the airport, you can purchase checked baggage at the applicable per kilo rate.

Airport baggage rates will apply if:

• you exceed your pre-purchased baggage allowance
• you haven't pre-purchased a baggage allowance
• you have more than three pieces of baggage to check-in (even if the total weight of the pieces is less than your pre-purchased baggage allowance)
