SpiceJet Baggage Fees (2026)
Quick summary
SpiceJet is an Indian low-cost carrier. Every passenger gets a free 7 kg hand bag, and unlike many ultra-LCCs, SpiceJet's standard fares also include a free checked allowance (15 kg domestic, 20–30 kg international per route). If you need more, the cheapest option is to pre-book excess baggage online rather than paying the much higher airport rate. All fares and fees are in Indian Rupees (INR / ₹).
At a glance
🎒 Personal item
No separate free personal item with its own weight allowance. A laptop bag, ladies' purse, or duty-free bag may be carried in addition to the hand bag, but the combined cabin weight must stay within the 7 kg limit.
🧳 Carry-on
1 hand bag up to 7 kg. Max dimensions 55 + 35 + 25 cm (115 cm total) on Boeing aircraft, or 50 + 35 + 23 cm (108 cm total) on Q400 turboprops. A paid 'Carry More Onboard' add-on lets you bring up to 5 kg extra cabin baggage (total 12 kg) for about ₹550/kg online or ₹650/kg at the airport.

How to avoid extra fees
- Pre-book any extra checked or cabin weight online — airport rates are noticeably higher.
- Power banks and spare lithium batteries must travel in the cabin only; never pack them in checked bags (DGCA rule).
- International checked allowance varies by destination (e.g. Gulf routes often 30 kg, Bangkok/Male around 20 kg) — confirm for your exact route.
- Keep each checked piece at or below 32 kg; overweight single pieces are refused at the counter.
