Special Items
Sports Equipment
Bicycles, golf clubs, skis, surfboards, etc., can be checked as special luggage (up to 32 kg, max length 2.70 m). Fees range from €45 to €65 online, and €55 to €75 at the airport. Must be properly packed.
Musical Instruments
Must be transported inside their case. Small instruments (max 55x44x20 cm) can be carried as hand luggage. Large instruments require an extra seat or must be checked as special luggage (up to 32 kg, max length 2.70 m).
International Rules
On flights to/from Africa or the Middle East, a 25 kg checked bag costs from €100 to €160 at the check-in desk. The number of checked bags may be limited on flights to/from certain countries in Africa and the Middle East.
Tips to Avoid Fees
1. Book luggage online in advance to save up to 50% compared to airport prices. 2. Choose the Fly or Fly Grande bundle if you need a 25 kg checked bag. 3. Ensure your underseat bag strictly meets the 40x30x20 cm limit to avoid a €60-€75 gate fee. 4. Pack special luggage carefully and book it online to avoid higher airport fees.
Unique Nuances
Vueling offers dynamic pricing for checked bags based on weight tiers (15, 20, 25, and 30 kg) rather than a flat fee. Gate-checking an oversized cabin bag incurs a hefty penalty of €110 to €140. Special luggage is collected at different carousels at some airports like Barcelona.
