Wizz Air vs Pegasus: check the small bag first
For a Pegasus international or North Cyprus flight, a backpack used on Wizz Air can exceed both the underseat depth and weight limits. Compare the packed bag and the allowance on each booking.
Check my small bag for Pegasus- Free small bag: Wizz Air lists 40 × 30 × 20 cm and 10 kg. Pegasus international and North Cyprus packages include 40 × 30 × 15 cm and 3 kg under the seat.
- Trolley: WIZZ Priority adds 55 × 40 × 23 cm and 10 kg. Pegasus Saver, Saver Plus and Comfort Flex include a 55 × 40 × 23 cm, 8 kg cabin bag on international and North Cyprus flights; Light does not.
- Pegasus domestic flights include one 55 × 40 × 23 cm, 8 kg cabin bag in every package. Do not apply international Light restrictions to a domestic booking.
- Wizz Air excludes handles and wheels from its published dimensions, with wheels adding at most 5 cm. This is not an extra 5 cm on every side or a Pegasus allowance.
- Example: a rigid, handle-free 40 × 30 × 20 cm bag weighing 4 kg meets Wizz Air's listed small-bag limits, but exceeds Pegasus international underseat depth by 5 cm and weight by 1 kg. Rotation cannot make that rigid body fit.

Common questions before you pack
Check it against both bookings. For Pegasus international or North Cyprus underseat travel, aim within 40 × 30 × 15 cm and 3 kg. Measure the packed bag, check protrusions and weigh it separately; fitting the numbers does not guarantee airport acceptance.
Neither airline is universally more generous; the answer changes by item or by edge. Compare both rows because personal-item and overhead-bag results can differ. Fare and weight rules remain separate from dimensions.
Possibly, but only if every packed edge fits both airlines' current limit and your fares include that item. Use the prefilled comparison, then verify both official sources.
Not necessarily. Inclusion can depend on the fare, route, cabin or add-on even when the dimensions fit. The table shows the published inclusion status; your ticket controls the final allowance.
