About the British Airways row. BA have withdrawn the hand baggage allowances page we used to read, and now publish the figure through an interactive baggage calculator instead of on a page we can link you to. The figure shown is the last one we read from them, on 13 September 2026, and we have left it here because it is more useful than a blank. Treat it as the last known figure rather than a checked one, and confirm it in BA's own calculator before you fly.
Wizz Air run the strictest of the arrangements in the table above. The free carry-on is the only bag you bring into the cabin. The trolley bag that goes in the overhead locker comes only with WIZZ Priority.
That makes the under-seat bag more important on Wizz Air than on almost any other carrier. It is not your second bag, it is your bag.
Wizz Air also say the free carry-on cannot be checked in free of charge, so if it does not fit at the gate you are paying to put it in the hold.
Wizz Air are one of only two carriers here that publish a weight for the small bag. Theirs is 10 kg, against easyJet's 15 kg. The other four state a size and leave weight alone.
Ten kilograms inside 40 x 30 x 20 is not a limit most people will reach with clothing. It is reachable with books, tools or camera gear, and it is worth knowing that the number exists because the bag is the only one you are carrying.
Wizz Air allow a coat or blanket, a mobile phone, reading material for the flight, duty free bought after security, and for infants, food and a foldable stroller or small crib. A pair of crutches for a passenger who needs them.
A neck pillow is specifically not a separate item. Wizz Air say it has to fit inside your cabin bag, and that if it does not it can be treated as an extra item and charged. That is unusually specific and it catches people out.
