SpiceJet Baggage Allowance — Cabin & Checked

Quick answer: On SpiceJet's base SpiceSaver fare you get one free checked bag of 15 kg on domestic routes plus 7 kg cabin baggage. International free allowance varies by destination (roughly 20-30 kg; Gulf routes typically 30 kg). No single bag may exceed 32 kg or 158 cm total (L+W+H). Excess weight is charged per kg, cheaper if prepaid online. Always reconfirm your route's allowance on spicejet.com.

Cabin baggage limit

Each SpiceJet passenger may carry one piece of hand baggage up to 7 kg. Maximum dimensions are 55 cm + 35 cm + 25 cm (total 115 cm) on Boeing 737 aircraft and 50 cm + 35 cm + 23 cm on Bombardier Q400 turboprops, so the smaller Q400 limit applies if any leg uses that aircraft. A small laptop bag or handbag must fit within the 7 kg total. Oversized or overweight cabin bags are sent to the hold at the gate. Verify current limits on spicejet.com.

Domestic checked allowance

The default SpiceSaver fare includes one free checked bag of up to 15 kg on domestic flights. You can pre-purchase extra weight in slabs (for example 5, 10, 15 or 20 kg) at the time of booking or later through Manage Booking, which is far cheaper than paying at the airport. Higher bundles such as SpiceMax may include the same or enhanced allowance. Confirm the exact kg tied to your fare and any add-on slabs on spicejet.com before you fly.

International checked allowance

Free checked allowance on international SpiceJet routes is route-specific rather than one flat number. Gulf sectors (such as Dubai, Sharjah, Fujairah and Jeddah) typically allow around 30 kg, while shorter routes like Bangkok or Male generally allow about 20 kg, often spread across two pieces. Because SpiceJet's international network and allowances change, do not assume; check the allowance printed on your specific itinerary and on spicejet.com for current figures.

Per-piece weight and size caps

Regardless of how much total allowance you buy, no single checked bag may weigh more than 32 kg, for ground-handling safety, and each piece must stay within 158 cm in total dimensions (length + width + height). A bag over 32 kg must be repacked into two pieces. Sports equipment, musical instruments and other outsized items follow special handling rules and may need advance arrangement. These caps are standard but worth re-checking on spicejet.com.

Excess and extra baggage charges

If you exceed your free allowance, SpiceJet charges excess baggage on a per-kg basis, and extra pieces beyond the included count attract a separate per-piece charge. Buying extra weight in advance online or via Manage Booking is consistently cheaper than paying at the airport counter. Because these per-kg and per-piece rates change frequently, this page does not quote a figure. Check the live excess-baggage fee grid on spicejet.com for the current 2026 rates before travelling.

Restricted and prohibited items

Power banks and spare lithium batteries must travel in cabin baggage only, never in checked bags, and very high-capacity power banks may be refused. Sharp objects, flammable liquids and similar dangerous goods are barred from the cabin. Lighters and e-cigarettes carry strict limits. Rules for liquids, valuables and fragile items follow DGCA security norms. Review SpiceJet's full dangerous-goods and prohibited-items list on spicejet.com before packing to avoid items being confiscated at security.
