What is the carry-on policy for Vueling?

When flying with Vueling, the amount of luggage you can take with you on board will depend on your fare. Regardless of your fare, you can take an under-seat bag on board as long as it fits under the seat in front of you.

If you’re a premium customer, TimeFlex Fare ticket-holder, disabled, or simply traveling with a child under less than two years, you can bring on a cabin bag that must fit and be stored in your seat’s overhead locker.

For an under-seat bag to be allowed on board a Vueling flight, its external dimensions should not exceed 13.8 x 7.9 x 7.9 inches (40 x 20 x 30 cm). On the other hand, for a cabin bag to be allowed, its maximum dimensions should be 21. 7 x 15. 8 x 7.9 inches (55 x 40 x 20 cm).

In order for your carry-on to be accepted aboard the cabin of your flight, it should weigh up to 22 lb (10 kg). If you’re having trouble fitting everything you need, check this comprehensive guide to packing your carry-on bag.

What is the carry-on liquid policy for Vueling?

Vueling is open to its passengers boarding their flights with liquids or content of the same nature as carry-on baggage, provided the liquids are stored in containers of less than 3.4 Oz (100 ml). The containers should be stored in a see-through, resealable plastic bag.

At screening, security will ask you to place your plastic bag separately from other luggage. Check this article for an exhaustive list of what is and isn’t allowed on a plane carry-on.

What extra items can be brought on board?

Vueling allows special luggage like skiing equipment, windsurfing tools, surfboards, snowboard equipment, bikes, sporting arms, and medical equipment as checked baggage. It also allows musical instruments on board, provided the instrument is placed on its own purchased seat.

For your special baggage to be accepted on your flight, it should weigh no more than 70.5 lb (32 kg) and measure up to 106.2 lb (2.7 m). Additionally, it should be labeled and well-packed.

When traveling with infants, you can take one piece of luggage that meets Vueling’s size and weight limits on board and an additional baby bag up to 11 lb (5kg).

If you’re not sure that your carry-on bag fits these requirements, try using KAYAK’s Bag Measurement tool, featured in the KAYAK app.
