Eurowings cabin baggage explained

Eurowings BASIC includes only a small bag that fits under the seat; the full 8 kg trolley for the overhead locker belongs to the SMART and BIZ fares or is bought separately. The free bag is deep at 25 cm but is not a full cabin case.

What your fare changes

BASIC comes with the 40 × 30 × 25 cm small bag. The 55 × 40 × 23 cm cabin bag up to 8 kg is included with SMART and BIZ or added to a BASIC booking for a fee. Confirm which product your fare carries before assuming a wheeled case flies free.

What to check before you fly

BASIC travellers often arrive expecting a free trolley and find only the small-bag allowance. The 25 cm depth on the free bag is generous, but a wheeled case usually exceeds the 40 × 30 cm footprint. Measure with wheels, handles and pockets included.

Worked bag-size example

Take a BASIC-fare under-seat bag measuring 39 × 29 × 24 cm. Compare it with the personal-item limit of 40 × 30 × 25 cm.

Side-by-side calculation
40 − 39 = 1 cm · 30 − 29 = 1 cm · 25 − 24 = 1 cm

The smallest dimensional margin is 1 cm, so the bag is within the size limit.

We compare the three outside edges after orientation, including protruding parts. A result with less than 0.5 cm of clearance is marked tight because measuring and packing can change the real size.
