Transavia Hand Luggage 2026: Sizes, Weight and the Best Free Carry-On
Flying with Transavia and would rather not pay extra for baggage? Good news: with Transavia you always get one piece of hand luggage free in the cabin. Below we set out the Transavia hand luggage rules for 2026 clearly — the exact sizes, the weight and the costs — plus how the right bag lets you take the maximum with you without paying extra.
Transavia hand luggage 2026: what can you bring?
With Transavia you have two options: the free small bag under the seat, and, for a fee, a larger cabin bag or trolley in the overhead locker. These are the rules (as of 2026):
| Type | Maximum size | Weight | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small bag (under the seat) | 40 x 30 x 20 cm | max. 10 kg | Free with every ticket |
| Cabin bag / trolley (overhead locker) | 55 x 40 x 25 cm | 10 kg combined | For a fee |
| Checked baggage | varies | up to 20–30 kg | For a fee |
As of June 2026. Transavia can change its policy — always check the current rules in your booking before you fly.
The free bag: 40 x 30 x 20 cm, max 10 kg
Free hand luggage at Transavia may measure up to 40 x 30 x 20 cm (15.7 x 11.8 x 7.9 inch) and weigh up to 10 kg (22 lb). You stow it under the seat in front of you. That is plenty for a weekend or a city trip — as long as your bag uses that space cleverly. A shoulder bag wastes it; a well-organized travel backpack gets far more out of it.
Our Lundholm Underseater is designed for exactly this size: 40 x 30 x 16 cm and 22 liters, with a padded 15.6" laptop compartment, TSA lock and waterproof material. It stays comfortably within the Transavia size and opens like a suitcase, so you can pack every corner.

When do you pay for cabin baggage?
Want to bring a larger trolley or travel bag (up to 55 x 40 x 25 cm) in the overhead locker? Then you book it for an extra fee. Note: at Transavia a combined weight of no more than 10 kg applies to your hand luggage together. For many short trips the free small bag is enough — that way you skip the surcharge altogether.
Avoid trouble at the gate
Transavia may check your bag at the gate. If it does not fit within the size, it still goes into the hold, at a cost. That is why a bag that stays comfortably within 40 x 30 x 20 cm is safer than one that sits right on the limit. Measure including handles and pockets, and do not overpack — the compression straps on the Underseater pull everything tight.
