What to expect

Transavia runs the Ryanair model with one twist: the free 40 × 30 × 20 cm (≈ 15.7 × 11.8 × 7.8 in) under-seat bag and the paid 55 × 40 × 25 cm (≈ 21.6 × 15.7 × 9.8 in) cabin bag share a single 10 kg (≈ 22 lb) weight allowance between them. Dimensions include wheels and handles, bags are checked at the airport, and anything too big or too heavy pays a gate fee from €70 and goes into the hold.

Soft bag vs hard case

Transavia verifies size and weight at the airport, so a soft, frameless bag has the same edge as on Ryanair: it compresses into the 40 × 30 × 20 cm (≈ 15.7 × 11.8 × 7.8 in) under-seat space. And with 10 kg (≈ 22 lb) shared across both bags, every gram of bag structure — frames, hard shells, heavy wheels — is weight you can't pack.

Boarding tips

  • The 10 kg (≈ 22 lb) limit covers your hand luggage and cabin bag together — weigh them as a pair, not one by one.
  • Book the cabin bag in advance; at the gate it's the fee from €70 and the bag goes into the hold.
  • Smart and Max fares include the cabin bag and Priority Boarding — on the basic fare you only have the under-seat bag.
  • An umbrella, a walking stick and one duty-free bag are allowed on top of the free allowance.

Common questions

Is a cabin bag free on Transavia?

+
No. Only the 40 × 30 × 20 cm (≈ 15.7 × 11.8 × 7.8 in) under-seat bag is always included. The 55 × 40 × 25 cm (≈ 21.6 × 15.7 × 9.8 in) cabin bag must be added for a fee — or comes included with the Smart and Max fares, along with Priority Boarding.

Does the 10 kg limit apply per bag or in total?

+
In total. Hand luggage alone may weigh up to 10 kg (≈ 22 lb); if you add a cabin bag, both bags combined may still weigh no more than 10 kg.

What happens if my bag is too big at the gate?

+
You pay the Gate Luggage Fee, starting at €70, and the bag travels in the hold. If that happens, move electronics and batteries — phone, laptop, power bank — into your under-seat bag first: they're not allowed in the hold.

Does a backpack count as Transavia hand luggage?

+
Yes — Transavia's own examples are a small backpack or handbag. It has to fit within 40 × 30 × 20 cm (≈ 15.7 × 11.8 × 7.8 in) including wheels, handles and full pockets, and go under the seat in front of you.
