When traveling with Transavia, it's essential to be familiar with the baggage rules. This not only helps you avoid extra costs but also ensures a smooth and surprise-free journey. In this guide, we compare and explain all important aspects of Transavia's baggage rules, from hand luggage to checked baggage, and specific rules for babies and special baggage like winter sports equipment. This way, you'll know exactly what you can bring on your flight.

Hand Luggage with Transavia: What is allowed and what is not?

Transavia applies clear rules for hand luggage. You may bring one piece of hand luggage with a maximum dimension of 40x30x20 cm and a maximum weight of 10 kg. This bag must fit under the seat in front of you and is included free of charge with every flight. Transavia strictly checks that your hand luggage meets these requirements and will refuse hand luggage that is too large or too heavy. A compact trolley that falls within these dimensions is therefore recommended to avoid problems during boarding. For more information on dimensions per airline, please refer to Hand luggage dimensions per airline overview 2026.

Cabin Baggage: booking extra baggage and conditions

In addition to standard hand luggage, you can book extra cabin baggage with Transavia, such as a trolley of up to 55x40x25 cm and up to 10 kg. This option depends on the type of flight you have booked: flexible flights may include standard cabin baggage, while for non-flexible flights, it is often an additional cost. Booking is easy via My Transavia, where the price is determined by supply and demand and can vary. Therefore, don't wait too long to book to minimize costs.

Checked Baggage: included kilograms, costs for extra kilograms, and restrictions

For checked baggage, Transavia offers 20 kg free per person as standard with some ticket options. If this is not included, you can book checked baggage for a fee. The maximum dimensions per suitcase are 165 cm (length + width + height). You can book extra kilograms via My Transavia, but be aware that these kilograms cannot be adjusted or refunded free of charge. Prices vary and are always determined by Transavia. Therefore, carefully consider how much weight you need.

Baggage Rules for Babies and Children with Transavia

Babies up to 1 year old may bring a small bag or stroller free of charge as hand luggage. From 2 years old, different rules apply: children usually pay for baggage according to standard rates, depending on the ticket and flight type. The rates and permitted baggage differ per age group, which is important when packing and booking.

Special Baggage: winter sports equipment and extra surcharges

Winter sports equipment such as skis and snowboards are not considered standard checked baggage and must be purchased separately, except for specific winter sports flights or transfers where skis are allowed free of charge. The maximum weight limit and dimensions for this baggage are strictly enforced. With Sunweb, you can add this baggage via specific options, with additional costs applying. Always check the current conditions and rates for this special baggage before departure.

Baggage Rules per Flight Type and Booking Date

Baggage rules vary significantly per flight type (flexible or non-flexible) and booking date. For bookings made up to and including December 1, 2025, different standard inclusions apply than from December 2, 2025. This means that baggage may or may not be included with your ticket. During the booking steps and later via My Transavia, you can add or modify baggage options. This makes it important to carefully check your booking details and book extra baggage in good time.
