Without a booked large-bag slot, Plus and Inclusive Plus customers' large bags travel subject to space and go in the hold if lockers are full.

- Hold luggage: 15 kg or 23 kg bags can be booked, with extra weight added online in 3 kg steps. No single bag may weigh more than 32 kg, and a booked weight allowance can be shared across the bags on the booking as long as that limit is respected. Each bag must measure under 275 cm in total (length + width + height).
