Frequently asked about flyadeal baggage
What is flyadeal's carry-on allowance?
flyadeal allows 7kg carry-on (typically 55×40×20cm max) plus a small personal item like a handbag or laptop bag. Weigh + measure before you fly — gate agents check at boarding.
Does flyadeal include a free checked bag?
No — flyadeal operates a fully unbundled model. Every checked bag costs extra (~$25-50 first bag). Add bags at booking for the lowest price — airport add-ons are 2-3× more expensive.
How much are extra bags on flyadeal?
flyadeal charges approximately $25-50 first bag for extra checked baggage in 2026. Prices vary by route, time of purchase (booking vs airport), and fare class. Loyalty status or premium credit cards may waive fees.
Can I bring a laptop on flyadeal?
Yes — laptops travel as part of your carry-on or personal item on flyadeal. Take them out at security screening. Spare lithium-ion batteries must be in carry-on (never checked).
What if my bag is over the flyadeal weight limit?
Overweight fees at flyadeal are typically $50-200 per bag depending on how much over you are. If you're close to the limit, better to pay for an extra bag at booking than pay overweight at the airport.
Are musical instruments allowed on flyadeal?
Small instruments (violin, guitar, flute) usually count as your carry-on. Larger instruments (cello, double bass) either need a purchased seat or must be checked as fragile items. Contact flyadeal in advance for bulky instrument policies.
Can I take duty-free bags on top of my flyadeal carry-on?
flyadeal typically allows duty-free purchases in a single airport-branded bag in addition to your carry-on allowance, but transit stops (especially US-connecting) may confiscate liquids. Buy duty-free at your final connection, not the start.
