Smart bags within the hand baggage allowance limits are accepted as hand baggage, provided that all requirements set by flydubai are met:
- Advise the staff at check-in that you are traveling with a smart bag.
- The lithium battery must be removable and not exceed the power rating of more than 100Wh (Li-ion) or 2g (Li-metal).
- The smart bag must be powered off during the flight.
What is flydubai’s policy on checked baggage allowances?
Checked baggage allowances vary according to travel class and fare and are set by the Weight Policy:
| Free Checked Baggage Allowance | ||||
| Checked Baggage | Economy | Business | ||
| Lite | Value | Flex | ||
| Maximum total weight | No allowance | 20 kg | 30 kg | 40 kg |
| Number of pieces | Maximum 3 | |||

If you want to take a smart bag as checked baggage, you must advise the staff at check-in that you are traveling with a smart bag and remove the lithium battery that must not exceed the power rating of more than 100Wh (for Li-ion) or 2g (for Li-metal) and carry it in your hand baggage.
Excess Baggage
If you want to check in more than three pieces of checked baggage, extra pieces are accepted provided there’s space in the hold but are charged for the total weight at the per kilo rate, even if the total weight for all pieces is less than the allowance you purchased.
You can pre-purchase an additional baggage allowance if you want to check in more than the baggage allowance included in your fare. Up to 4 hours before your flight, you can pay in advance for an additional baggage allowance (up to 40 kg including the free baggage allowance, if any) and benefit of an up to 90% discount on airport charges.
If you haven’t bought additional baggage allowance and you exceed your free baggage allowance, you’ll be charged a per kilo rate at the airport:

Baggage Services

For delayed baggage, flydubai offers compensation in the form of a USD 50 voucher per day of delay, for a maximum of 3 days. If delayed baggage shows up within 5 days, you will be contacted to pick it up. If your bag is not found after 21 days, it is considered lost, and flydubai will pay to replace your bag and its contents up to the amount set by the Conditions of Carriage.
For damaged baggage, you need to file a damage claim within 7 days from the date you received your baggage so that flydubai pays for the bag to be repaired or replaced.
