TUI fly is introducing stricter hand luggage rules effective for flights departing from May 1, 2026, or bookings made after March 30, 2026. The policy significantly reduces free allowances, permitting only a small personal item measuring 40x30x20 cm, such as a handbag or backpack that fits under the seat.
Larger cabin bags will incur new fees, aligning with industry trends toward tighter enforcement of luggage dimensions. This change aims to manage onboard space more effectively amid rising passenger volumes.
While specific fee amounts and exact dimensions for paid cabin bags remain undisclosed in available details, the update reflects broader 2026 shifts seen across carriers, where personal items are increasingly the sole free allowance to optimize boarding and bin usage.
