Before booking a flight with Sky Express, It’s always a good idea to know their luggage size and weight limits.
Generally, Sky Express permits a standard carry-on bag plus a small personal item, but they are known to be quite strict about their size and weight limits so it’s definitely not something you want to guess at the last minute.
In this post, I will cover everything you need to know about Sky Express baggage allowance, including hand luggage, checked baggage, and any extras you might want to bring along.
Let’s jump right in.
Sky Express Hand Baggage / Cabin Baggage
When flying with Sky Express you can bring one bag as your main hand luggage and one small personal item, such as a purse or laptop bag, on board.
Your carry-on bag must fit within this size and weight limits:
- Maximum dimensions: 55 cm x 40 cm x 23 cm / 21.65 in × 15.75 in × 9.06 in
- Maximum weight: 8 kg / 17 lbs for most fares
- BLISS fare: Allows up to 13 kg / 28 lbs carry-on
Here’s a breakdown of carry-on weight by fare class:
| Fare Class | Cabin Baggage Allowance |
|---|---|
| SKY joy | 8 kg / 17.5 lbs |
| SKY joy+ | 8 kg / 17.5 lbs |
| SKY enjoy | 8 kg / 17.5 lbs |
| SKY basic | 8 kg/ 17.5 lbs |
| SKY basic+ | 8 kg/ 17.5 lbs |
| SKY bliss | 13 kg / 28.66 lbs |
Personal Item Rules: What You Can Bring Under the Seat
With Sky Express, you can also bring one small personal item in addition to your carry-on bag.
Think of this as your everyday essentials bag, something that can fit easily under the seat in front of you.
It could be a small backpack, handbag, laptop case or a medium-sized purse.
The airline doesn’t have specific size and weight for personal items, but the golden rule is simple: if it doesn’t fit under the seat, it’s not a personal item.
Sky Express Checked Baggage / Hold Baggage
Checked baggage allowance depends on the type of fare you are flying.
And just like many other international Airlines, checked baggage linear dimensions are calculated by combining the three dimensions (Length + Width + Height) which is 158 cm for Sky Express.
Here’s the Sky Express updated allowance by fare:
| Fare Class | Checked Baggage Included |
|---|---|
| SKY joy | Not included |
| SKY joy+ | 15 kg / 33.07 lbs |
| SKY enjoy | 23 kg / 50.5 lbs |
| SKY basic | Not included |
| SKY basic+ | 23 kg / 50.5 lbs |
| SKY bliss | 2 x 32 kg / 2 x 70 lbs |
Infants and Children Baggage
Infants (0–2 years old) must travel in their parent lap.
Parents are allowed to bring a folding stroller, up to 100 cm x 30 cm x 15 cm, which will be checked and stored in the aircraft hold.
Children aged 2 to 12 follow the same baggage allowance as adults, based on the fare selected.
Additional Baggage
If your fare doesn’t include checked baggage or if you need more than what’s included you can purchase additional baggage in advance or at the airport.
Here are the standard prices for extra baggage up to 15 kg, valid during the summer period (April 1 to October 31):
| Purchase Method | First Bag (15 kg) | Second Bag (15 kg) |
|---|---|---|
| Online at booking | €15.00 | €30.00 |
| Via “Manage My Booking” | €15.00 | €30.00 |
| Airport counter | €25.00 | €45.00 |
| At the boarding gate | €25.00 | €45.00 |
Excess Baggage
If your baggage exceeds the allowed weight or dimensions, excess baggage charges will apply.
Here’s what you’ll pay for each extra kilogram, depending on how and when you purchase:
| Purchase Method | 1st Bag (per kg) | 2nd Bag (per kg) |
|---|---|---|
| Sky express website | €3.00 | €6.00 |
| At the airport, check in desk | €5.00 | €8.00 |
| At the boarding gate | €6.00 | €10.00 |
Special Baggage Items
If your item is unusually large or heavy, it may still be accepted if the aircraft has the available capacity.
In such cases, an additional €40.00 fee applies on top of any excess baggage charges.
If your item weighs over 28 kg, or if any single dimension exceeds 110 cm, it must be sent as cargo, and standard cargo rates will apply.
Final Thoughts
Here is the Sky Express sizer.
After going through all of Sky Express baggage rules, one thing that is clear is that they’re pretty strict, especially with carry-on size and weight.
If your bag is even a little too big or heavy, and doesn’t fit in the sizer there is a good chance they will ask you to check it, and you will likely pay for it.
So skip all of this, stick to the limits, weigh your bag before you head to the airport, and if you think you’ll need extra luggage, book it online. It’s way cheaper than paying at the airport.
I hope this helps
Happy travels
