Loganair is a popular choice for travelers heading to the Scottish Highlands, Orkney, and the Shetland Islands.
If you’re planning a trip with them, understanding their hand luggage and checked baggage policies can save you from last-minute surprises at the airport.
In this guide, I’ll break down Loganair’s baggage rules, including weight limits, size restrictions, and extra baggage charges so you can pack with confidence.
Loganair Hand Luggage Allowance
How Much Hand Luggage Can You Bring?
Loganair hand luggage allowance depends on your ticket type:
- Fly Flex+ Passengers: You can bring one cabin bag (up to 6 kg) for free, plus a small handbag and a slimline laptop bag.
- Fly & Fly Flex Passengers: You’re allowed one bag up to 6 kg, along with a small handbag.
Important: Your hand luggage must be labeled and fit under the seat in front of you or in the overhead bin.
The maximum size allowed is 40cm x 35cm x 18cm (15.75″ × 13.78″ × 7.09″).
On some flights, cabin luggage may need to be placed in the hold, but don’t worry—it’ll be returned to you at the aircraft steps upon arrival.
What Should You Pack in Your Hand Luggage?
It’s always a good idea to keep essential items in your cabin bag, including:
- Important documents (passport, boarding pass)
- Cash & valuables
- Medications
- Laptop & electronics
At the same time, avoid packing restricted or dangerous items to comply with airline safety rules.
Checked Baggage Allowance
How Much Checked Baggage Can You Bring?
Just like hand luggage your checked baggage will depend on your ticket type:
- Fly & Fly Flex Passengers: Can check in up to 20 kg (either as one bag or multiple bags).
- Fly Flex+ Passengers: Get 30 kg total across multiple bags, with a single bag limit of 25 kg.
Single Bag Rule: No bag, regardless of excess baggage fees, can weigh more than 25 kg.
Infants & Children’s Baggage Allowance
- Infants under 2 years (on a parent’s lap): No separate baggage allowance (some airport taxes may apply).
- Infants (6 months – 2 years) with their own seat: Must use an approved forward-facing car seat ( Loganair does not provide these).
- Children (6 months – 2 years) with a paid seat: Eligible for a 33% discount on fares (taxes & fees not discounted).
Special Baggage Rules for Certain Routes
For flights to Orkney inter-isle, Barra, Tiree, and Campbeltown, baggage allowance is up to 15 kg with unlimited pieces.
Since there is no luggage security clearance at these smaller airports, passengers must re check their bags at Glasgow or Kirkwall for connecting flights.
Excess Baggage Fees
If you need to bring more luggage, here’s what you need to know:
- Extra baggage is only accepted if space is available.
- The maximum weight per bag is 30 kg.
- Excess baggage fees are £10 per additional bag.
- Fees are calculated at the prevailing rate at the time of payment.
- If your excess baggage travels on a different flight, you’ll need to collect it upon arrival.
If you plan to bring excess baggage, it’s best to check in at least 20 minutes before your normal check-in time to ensure everything is processed smoothly.
Final Thoughts
Loganair has a straightforward baggage policy, but it’s always a good idea to double-check the rules before heading to the airport.
Make sure your bags meet the size and weight limits to avoid extra fees or last-minute surprises.
While Loganair enforces their baggage rules, there is some flexibility in certain situations.
To have a stress-free journey, pack wisely and label your luggage properly.
