Canaryfly’s baggage policy varies by fare type. All passengers get one carry-on bag up to 8 kg (45 × 35 × 25 cm). Checked baggage (up to 20 kg) is included in De LowCos, FullEquip, and FullEquip+ fares. Excess baggage costs €2/kg from 21–26 kg, and a flat €15 fee applies for bags weighing 27–32 kg.

Most baggage surprises at the airport are avoidable. Canaryfly operates short-haul inter-island routes across the Canary Islands, and like many regional carriers, its baggage rules are structured around four distinct fare tiers each bundling a different combination of hand luggage, checked baggage, and flexibility. Get the fare wrong, and you’ll pay at the airport. Get it right, and you may not need to pay for baggage at all.

What Is Canaryfly’s Baggage Allowance by Fare Type?

Canaryfly offers four fare categories, each with a different baggage allowance. Con lo Puesto includes hand luggage only; De LowCos, FullEquip, and FullEquip+ all include one checked bag up to 20 kg. The top-tier FullEquip+ also covers priority baggage delivery and sports equipment within the allowance.

Understanding Canaryfly’s baggage structure starts with choosing the right fare. Here’s a full breakdown:

Canaryfly Economy Baggage Allowance: What Does the Basic Fare Include?

The Con lo Puesto fare is Canaryfly’s lightest option. It covers one carry-on bag (8 kg) and one under-seat personal item. No checked bag is included. Passengers who need a suitcase can add one checked bag of up to 20 kg for €10 at the time of booking subject to availability on the flight. Infants traveling with a Con lo Puesto passenger receive an additional 8 kg of cabin luggage and 10 kg of checked baggage at no extra cost.

What Are Canaryfly’s Carry-On Baggage Rules?

Canaryfly’s carry-on (hand luggage) allowance is one bag per passenger, with a maximum weight of 8 kg and dimensions of 45 × 35 × 25 cm. A small personal item may also be placed under the seat. Bags exceeding these limits will be checked into the hold and may incur a fee.

Canaryfly Hand Luggage Allowance: Size, Weight, and What to Expect at the Gate

Every Canaryfly fare includes the same hand luggage entitlement:

• Weight: Maximum 8 kg
• Dimensions: 45 cm × 35 cm × 25 cm (height × length × width)
• Personal item: One additional bag permitted under the seat in front

The ATR72 aircraft Canaryfly operates has a smaller hold than larger commercial jets. Cabin space is limited, so size compliance is enforced. If your carry-on exceeds the permitted dimensions or weight, cabin crew may check it into the hold before boarding at an additional charge.

Liquid rules for Canaryfly carry-on bags:

• Each liquid container must not exceed 100 ml
• All liquids must fit inside a transparent, resealable bag measuring 20 × 20 cm
• Exceptions apply for liquid medications (requires prescription or proof of purchase) and baby food (justification required)

Electronics and batteries:

• Power banks: maximum of 2 units, each up to 100 Wh
• Spare batteries: up to 20 batteries, each up to 100 Wh
• Lithium batteries are not permitted in checked baggage only in carry-on

What Is Canaryfly’s Checked Baggage Allowance?

Canaryfly’s checked baggage allowance is one bag per passenger, up to 20 kg, included in De LowCos, FullEquip, and FullEquip+ fares. Passengers on Con lo Puesto can purchase one checked bag for €10. All fares allow an additional bag purchase for €10. The maximum accepted weight per bag is 32 kg.

How Much Checked Baggage Can I Take on Canaryfly?

Baby strollers, prams, and pushchairs are accepted free of charge on all fares. Passengers can use them right up to the boarding gate if they request this service at the check-in counter.

How Much Do Canaryfly Baggage Fees and Excess Charges Cost?

Canaryfly charges €2 per kilogram for checked bags weighing between 21 and 26 kg. Bags between 27 and 32 kg incur a flat oversized fee of €15, regardless of the exact weight in that range. Bags exceeding 32 kg are not accepted.

Canaryfly Excess Baggage Fees: Full Cost Breakdown

Practical cost scenarios:

• A 23 kg bag = 3 kg over = €6 excess fee
• A 26 kg bag = 6 kg over = €12 excess fee
• A 30 kg bag = oversized bracket = €15 flat fee
• A 33 kg bag = not accepted, must repack before check-in

How to avoid excess fees: Purchase additional weight online at the time of booking (up to 12 kg extra per bag), rather than paying at the airport desk. Airport prices may be higher and are also subject to availability.

Canaryfly Baggage Fees: What About Seat Upgrades?

For fares that do not include seat selection (Con lo Puesto and De LowCos), passengers can purchase a standard seat for €2 per journey or an XL seat or priority exit row for €3 per journey.

What Are Canaryfly’s Rules for Sports Equipment and Special Baggage?

Canaryfly accepts sports equipment and musical instruments as special baggage. Passengers must request transport at least 48 hours before departure by calling 928 01 85 00 or visiting an airport sales office. Special baggage must be properly packed, labeled, and protected. A liability waiver must be signed at the airport.

Canaryfly Sports Equipment Baggage: What’s Allowed and How Does It Count?

This is one of the most misunderstood rules in Canaryfly’s policy. Sports equipment on Canaryfly replaces your checked suitcase it does not come in addition to it. One piece of sports equipment up to 20 kg is accepted at no extra cost, provided it falls within your fare’s checked baggage allowance.

The exception is FullEquip+ passengers, who receive sports equipment as a separate benefit within their fare, allowing them to carry both a suitcase and sports gear within their allowance.

Sport-specific packing rules:

• Surfboards and windsurf boards: Must be stored in a protective cover, labeled, and measure no more than 1.9 m in length. Boards longer than 1.9 m cannot be transported.
• Bicycles: Remove pedals, turn handlebars inward so they do not protrude, secure wheels, and partially deflate tyres.
• Golf clubs: Must be fastened securely inside the bag to prevent movement during loading and unloading.
• Diving equipment: The air cylinder must be fully depressurized and accompanied by a certificate from an authorized company confirming it is empty. The valve must be removed. Dive torches may travel in cabin or hold, but the power source must be disconnected and terminals insulated.
• Sporting firearms: Require a 48-hour advance request, must be unloaded, and must be cleared by the airport’s Firearms Control Service. Ammunition must be in secure boxes, must not exceed 5 kg gross weight, and must belong to Division 1.4S (UN numbers 0012 or 0014).

Musical Instruments: Can I Book an Extra Seat on Canaryfly?

Yes. Passengers carrying fragile or valuable items such as musical instruments or a wedding dress that cannot be placed in the hold may book an additional cabin seat. Rules:

• Request must be made at least 48 hours before the flight, either at an airport office or via the Call Centre
• The item type, weight, and dimensions must be declared at the time of booking
• Maximum weight per additional seat: 75 kg
• The extra seat ticket is priced at the regular route fare; resident discounts do not apply
• Booking is subject to availability and requires airline authorization

What Are Canaryfly’s Policies for Lost, Delayed, or Damaged Baggage?

If your luggage does not arrive or arrives damaged, you must file a Property Irregularity Report (P.I.R.) at the airport before leaving the baggage claim area. Failure to do so on the same day means you forfeit any claim.

• Delayed: Luggage is considered delayed if it has not arrived within 24 hours of the flight. Most cases are resolved within 72 hours.
• Lost: Luggage is officially considered lost if 21 days pass from the scheduled arrival date without it being delivered.
• Fragile or valuable items: Canaryfly strongly recommends keeping these in the cabin. If fragile, valuable, or perishable items are placed in checked baggage, the airline will not cover damage or loss.

Tips for Managing Your Baggage Allowance on Canaryfly

• Book baggage in advance. Adding a checked bag during booking costs €10. Paying at the airport may cost more and is subject to availability.
• Weigh your bag before you leave home. Scales at airports will not forgive a 23 kg bag on a Con lo Puesto ticket with no checked bag purchased.
• Pack liquids last and in a transparent bag. Security checks are faster when your liquids are already compliant and accessible.
• Choose FullEquip+ for surf or golf trips. This is the only fare that separates sports equipment from your regular checked bag allowance.
• Request special baggage 48 hours early. Same-day requests are not accepted for sports equipment or musical instruments.
• Label everything clearly. Canaryfly requires all special baggage to be labeled and protected. A luggage tag with your name and contact number prevents delays if bags are mishandled.
• Declare high-value items before checking in. Canaryfly allows a special value declaration at the airport for a fee of 15% of the declared value worth considering for expensive equipment.
