FlixBus luggage policy: Can I bring luggage on FlixBus?
According to FlixBus baggage allowance, the ticket includes the free transport of:
- One carry-on bag with maximum dimensions of 42 x 30 x 18 cm and a maximum weight of 7 kg. Your carry-on bag must fit under the seat in front of you or in the overhead compartment above your seat.
- One checked bag with maximum dimensions of 80 x 50 x 30 cm and a maximum weight of 20 kg. Your checked bag must be stowed in the luggage compartment.
Additional luggage: FlixBus allows passengers to bring one extra piece of luggage per person, which must not exceed the maximal baggage size stated for the checked bag. The FlixBus baggage fee depends on the booking method. If you book your additional luggage online, a 3.99 EUR fee will be added or 6 EUR if you book it by phone.
BIKE POLICY
Can I take my bike in the FlixBus luggage compartment?
Yes, according to FlixBus luggage rules, you can take your bike on most FlixBuses. They should have a standard size and maximum weight of 20 kg. Standard bicycles are transported on bike racks at the back of the bus (during cycling season); folding bikes, on the other hand, can be transported in special transport cases in the FlixBus designated luggage area. According to the FlixBus luggage policy, E-bikes are not allowed on buses. You can add your bike as special luggage during the booking process on the FlixBus website.
Alternatively, you can ship your bike with Eurosender and enjoy the ride with FlixBus without carrying the bike and other overweight luggage or worrying about FlixBus luggage rules. We offer any kind of bike transport on international routes, including the United Kingdom, even outside of the high season. Since FlixBus only allows five bikes in the luggage compartment, you can safely ship a larger number of bikes with our van delivery.
