Eurowings' baggage policy varies by fare type and route. Below is a summary based on the latest information:
Hand Baggage (Carry-On)
All Passengers: Allowed one carry-on bag (max. 55 x 40 x 23 cm, 8 kg) and one small personal item (max. 40 x 30 x 10 cm, no weight limit, e.g., handbag or laptop bag) that fits under the seat.
BASIC Fare: Includes a small underseat bag (40 x 30 x 25 cm). A larger cabin bag (55 x 40 x 23 cm, 8 kg) can be added for a fee (~€19 per flight).
