Also, weigh your bags at home before the airport. If you are travelling with a group, distribute weight across all passengers while staying within each individual limit. Codeshare flights may use the operating carrier's policy, not the marketing carrier's — confirm with both airlines.
What is the SpiceJet baggage allowance to Dubai?
SpiceJet gives 2 pieces totalling 30 kg free on flights to/from Dubai, Sharjah, Fujairah and Jeddah (plus 5 litres of Zam Zam water from Jeddah to India), and 2 pieces totalling 20 kg on Bangkok, Phuket and Kathmandu. Domestic flights include 15 kg. Excess to the Gulf is ₹1,200 per kg at the airport — pre-book online to save.
Does SpiceJet's 7 kg cabin limit include a laptop bag?
Yes — uniquely among Indian carriers, SpiceJet's 7 kg hand-baggage limit INCLUDES the weight of your laptop bag, ladies' purse or duty-free bag (IndiGo and Akasa allow a separate 3 kg personal item). On Q400 turboprop flights the bag must also be smaller: 50 × 35 × 23 cm vs 55 × 35 × 25 cm on Boeings. The "Carry More On-board" add-on raises the cabin limit to 12 kg.
What is the SpiceJet cabin (hand) baggage size limit in cm?
One hand bag up to 7 kg; on SpiceJet the 7 kg limit INCLUDES your laptop bag, ladies' purse or duty-free bag (stricter than carriers that allow a separate 3 kg personal item). Max 55 × 35 × 25 cm on Boeing flights and 50 × 35 × 23 cm on the smaller Q400 turboprops. Infants get one extra 7 kg hand bag. The "Carry More On-board" add-on buys +5 kg (12 kg cabin total). The cabin baggage weight limit is 7 kg (1 piece) — INCLUDING laptop bag / purse / duty-free bag. Size limits are checked at the gate — an oversized bag is moved to the hold and can attract a fee, so measure your trolley bag (wheels and handles included) before you fly. Confirm at https://corporate.spicejet.com/Baggage.aspx.
How do I add extra baggage on SpiceJet after booking, and how much does it cost?
You can add prepaid extra baggage any time after booking through SpiceJet's "Manage Booking" on https://corporate.spicejet.com/Baggage.aspx, or from HappyFares My Trips — buying it online is about 20–30% cheaper than paying at the airport counter. Domestic excess ₹700 per kg at the airport (pre-book slabs: 3 kg ₹1,935 · 5 kg ₹3,225 · 10 kg ₹6,450 · 30 kg ₹19,350). International per kg at airport: India→Dubai/Sharjah/Fujairah/Jeddah/Bangkok/Phuket ₹1,200, India→Kathmandu ₹600; return legs AED 60 / SAR 65 / THB 600 / NPR 960 per kg. Additional piece: domestic ₹950 pre-booked / ₹1,000 airport; India→Gulf ₹2,899 / ₹3,299. Excess HAND baggage runs ₹750/kg domestic. International excess must be pre-booked 24h+ ahead. Add it before the online cut-off (usually a few hours before departure); after that you pay the higher per-kg rate at check-in.
What is the maximum weight for a single checked bag on SpiceJet?
A single checked bag must not exceed 32 kg on SpiceJet — a fixed baggage-handler safety limit that applies on virtually every airline. If your free allowance is higher, split it across two or more pieces, each 32 kg or under. A bag over your free limit but under 32 kg is accepted on payment of excess; a single piece over 32 kg is refused at check-in and must travel as cargo. Confirm piece rules at https://corporate.spicejet.com/Baggage.aspx.
Can I carry a power bank in SpiceJet cabin baggage?
Yes — power banks are allowed ONLY in cabin baggage (never checked-in). Per DGCA's 11-November-2025 advisory, you may carry up to 2 power banks per passenger. Each must be ≤100 Wh for unrestricted carriage; 100-160 Wh requires airline approval; >160 Wh is banned. Store them in your seat pocket or under-seat personal item — NOT in overhead bins. In-flight use is banned, including charging from aircraft USB ports. A 20,000 mAh / 3.7V power bank equals 74 Wh, so it's permitted.
How many liquids can I carry in SpiceJet hand baggage?
Per BCAS rules, each liquid container must be 100ml or less, all containers combined fit in one transparent 1-litre resealable bag, and one bag per passenger. This applies to water, perfume, shampoo, gel, toothpaste, and cosmetics. Exceptions: baby food/milk in reasonable quantities; prescription medicine with prescription; duty-free liquids in a Sealed Tamper-Evident Bag (STEB) with receipt. Water bottles bought after security are allowed onboard.
Are keys allowed in hand luggage on SpiceJet?
Yes — house and car keys are allowed in both cabin (hand) baggage and checked baggage on SpiceJet and all Indian flights; they are not a restricted item. The only exception is a keychain multi-tool or keyring with a blade or sharp point longer than 6 cm, which must go in checked baggage, not the cabin.
What items are not allowed in SpiceJet hand (cabin) baggage?
Prohibited in cabin baggage on Indian flights (per BCAS): sharp objects with a blade or point over 6 cm (knives, scissors, box cutters), tools such as screwdrivers, hammers and wrenches, sporting bats and cue sticks, firearms and ammunition, flammable liquids and aerosols, and most lighters and matchboxes. Power banks are cabin-only (never checked-in); liquids must follow the 100 ml rule. When in doubt, pack the item in checked baggage — confirm the current list at https://corporate.spicejet.com/Baggage.aspx.
