Permitted and forbidden items in Vueling hand luggage
Beyond size and weight, it is also important to know what you can and cannot put in your Vueling hand luggage.
The airline allows you to take personal items such as a handbag, a laptop, a small handbag for liquids and an additional item such as a small shoulder bag or a small document bag.
However, it is important to note that the items must be able to be stowed under the seat in front of you or in a luggage compartment above your seat.
Certain items are forbidden in hand luggage, such as weapons, ammunition, knives, cutting tools, aerosol cans and liquids over 100 ml.
It is important to know that liquids must be placed in a clear plastic zip-lock bag and can only be carried in limited quantities.
Vueling hand baggage allowance for liquids
In terms of liquids, Vueling follows the European Union regulations for flight safety.
This means that liquids can be carried in hand luggage, but only in containers of 100 ml or less and must be placed in a transparent, sealable bag with a maximum size of 20x20 cm.
Allowed liquids are: water, fruit juices, milk, sauces, jellies, mousses, pastes, creams and lotions, sprays, perfumes and deodorants.
It is important to bear in mind that liquids purchased after security checks, such as those at duty-free, must be sealed in a sealable bag and will be checked again before boarding.
It is advisable to avoid carrying large liquids or liquids in quantities of more than 100 ml to avoid having to leave them at the exit and paying additional fines.
In any case, it is always important to check the measurements and limits of Vueling hand luggage before departure to avoid paying extra penalties starting at 50.00 euros each way.
In case of overweight or oversized baggage penalties, it will not be possible to file a Vueling compensation claim.
