Flybe Hand Baggage

 

Flybe passengers can carry one small cabin bag measuring no more than 45 x 36 x 20cm including wheels and handles. This should be a small item such as a handbag, laptop bag or backpack that can fit under the seat in front of you, and it must not exceed 7KG.

If your cabin bag exceeds dimensions and weight limits it will be checked into the aircraft hold and the appropriate fee will be applied at the departure gate.

Flybe Ticket Types


Flybe offers three different types of tickets. The prices of these tickets will vary depending on your route;
Ticket TypeBenefits
LiteFlybe lite is the standard and most common fare that includes a small carry-on bag at 7kg. Extras are available for an additional fee.
SmartFlybe smart is slightly more expensive than lite. It offers 15kg hold baggage allowance, small carry-on bag at 7kg, and seat selection in specific rows.
PlusFlybe plus gives you everything you need, including 23kg hold baggage allowance, small carry-on bag at 7kg, seat selection in any row, free ticket changes (restrictions apply), and fast-track security.

Flybe Checked Baggage

 

Hold luggage fees and allowances will depend on your ticket type. ‘Flybe smart’ passengers will receive 15kg checked baggage, and ‘Flybe plus’ passengers will receive 23kg checked baggage. ‘Flybe lite’ passengers will be required to purchase any hold luggage.

Flybe offers two hold options for customers to purchase online; Flybe smart allows one checked bag at 15kg, and Flybe plus allows one checked bag at 23kg. Both fare options include one small cabin bag at 7kg. Excess luggage charges apply to all hold bags which exceed the 23kg pre-booked allowance. Hold bags may only be purchased for the whole journey. No single item of hold luggage may weigh more than 32kg. 

Prices are per person, per one-way flight. Passengers are advised to book baggage online, rather than at the airport as it is much cheaper.

Flybe Excess Baggage

 

Flybe offers the opportunity to pre-book and increase your hold luggage allowance (no single item can be more than 32kg, however, you can book multiple items), however, should you wish to carry hold luggage in excess of this permitted pre-bookable allowance, excess baggage charges will apply. If your hold baggage exceeds your pre-booked weight allowance, you will be charged a fee of £10 per extra kilogram.

Flybe Special Items

When travelling on a Flybe flight, there are certain ‘exceptional items’ which may be carried free of charge. These include pushchairs, prams, travel cots, car seats, wedding dress, bridesmaid dress, suit, mobility equipment. There are also certain exceptional items which can be carried for an additional fee. Items such as sporting equipment and musical instruments will be charged at £30 per item, each way. Each exceptional item placed in the hold has a weight allowance of up to 23kg (subject to space available in the aircraft hold). Should items exceed this allowance, standard excess baggage fees apply. If you intend to travel with an exceptional item, it is advised to contact Flybe prior to booking in case there are specific instructions relating to your item.

My Baggage – Airline Baggage Alternative

 

For those who purchase ‘Flybe smart’ or ‘Flybe plus’ tickets, baggage allowances can be quite generous. However, as these kinds of premium tickets are significantly more expensive, the standard ‘Flybe lite’ ticket is the most popular. However, baggage allowances are limited across these fares and fees are expensive, especially if you exceed the limits. Thankfully, that’s where My Baggage comes in.

My Baggage allows you to ship a massive 30kg per suitcase at fantastic low rates. You’ll also have the option to pay for even heavier bags if you need to, and you can add as many items as you like to your booking. Shipping luggage with My Baggage allows you to bring more with you than if you were relying on a few checked pieces of baggage. My Baggage provides a great low-cost alternative to airline baggage, with fast and convenient luggage shipping which allows you to travel hands-free. It means you’ll save yourself some time at the airport when you don’t have to check-in your bags, no waiting around at luggage carousels on the other side and ultimately, one less thing to worry about whilst you travel. To give you that extra peace of mind, My Baggage offers £100 free compensation cover on every single shipment, which can be increased right up to the value of £1000 if you wish.

I cannot recommend MyBaggage enough

I cannot recommend MyBaggage enough! I was very skeptical at first but I am so glad I trusted them because the process was incredibly smooth & easy & affordable and now I have my luggage taken care of! I was afraid of the customs forms and the whole customs clearance dynamic but it was super easy and without any issues. They also have the best customer service: I have emailed them at midnight and got a response in 15 minutes. 1000/10 for MyBaggage

Absolutely delightful to work with drivers…easy to prepare and very convenient service. Such a relief for my 86 year old mother not having to worry about getting transport to pick her at the airport with the large amount of luggage.

Second experience was even better than the first - once I knew to take inventory *before* closing everything up. Seriously though, this is so smooth and heaps less expensive than alternative shipping options. DC>Sussex, England in 2 days! FL>Sussex in 3 days! Amazing.

Reliable, most affordable and efficient

We booked my baggage to pick up a box from Portugal and deliver to the UK. Even though I don’t think it’s guaranteed we received a call to tell us a two hour window of when the box would be collected. The service was extremely simple, printing off the labels and putting them on the box. The service took quicker than the expected time and was delivered safely to its address. We will use this service again.

solid service would use again

everything was very smooth and instructions were clear and precise. My baggage arrived with no problems just a few days later. it was very good to have this service be so easy and convenient. Would use again! make sure you have access to a printer and tape, but they explain everything. the customs was very easy to fill out too.

Everything went as expected.

Easy and no bs shipping of luggage from US to Europe (Denmark). I was shipping my duffelbag back home after travelling in the US for a while. The bag arrived before the expected day, and the experience from purchasing, to customs handling, to shipping was perfect. Everything went as expected.
