Animawings is Romania’s young leisure-and-scheduled carrier, flying Airbus A220s and A320s out of Bucharest across a growing 2025–26 network. Its baggage model is bundle-based and, refreshingly, generous where it counts: even the cheapest ONE bundle gives you a real cabin bag plus a personal item, not the single under-seat scrap that Europe’s ultra-low-cost carriers hand out.
Where ONE stops is the hold. No checked bag is included at the bottom fare, and the PLUS bundle is the first to add one. The other thing to know before you book is that the checked-bag fee is not one number: a hold bag is cheap on a domestic Romanian hop but jumps sharply on international routes. This guide lays out every bundle and what each move up the ladder actually buys.

Baggage by region & route
Checked-bag inclusion on the cheapest fare can depend on where you fly, not just the fare name. Here is what the lowest fare includes by route:
| Route / region | Cheapest fare includes |
|---|---|
| Domestic (within Romania) | ONE = cabin + personal item; add a hold bag from €15 online |
| International | ONE = cabin + personal item; a hold bag is €50, or book PLUS |
What each fare includes
| Bundle | Personal | Cabin | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|
| ONE | 4 kg | 8 kg | None |
| PLUS | 4 kg | 8 kg | 1 x 23 kg |
| PRIORITY ALL INCLUSIVE | 4 kg | 8 kg | None |
| PRIORITY ALL INCLUSIVE PLUS | 4 kg | 8 kg | 1 x 23 kg |
| Business / Business Flex | 4 kg | 12 kg | 2 x 32 kg |
What you actually get on a cheap fare
The number that decides your booking is the checked-bag fee, because it triples across the border. A hold bag added online is €15 on a domestic Romanian route but €50 internationally — and once you are at an airport desk, the domestic fee also jumps to €50. So on an international trip where you know you need the hold, do the arithmetic: the PLUS bundle bakes in a 23 kg bag and is often no more expensive than ONE plus that €50 add-on, while also giving you a proper fare rather than a stripped one.
Do not overpay for PRIORITY, though, if bags are your only concern. PRIORITY ALL INCLUSIVE buys speed and perks but still carries no checked bag — you need the PLUS variant for that. And unlike the big low-cost carriers, Animawings never strips you below a full-size cabin bag, so a carry-on-only traveller genuinely pays nothing extra on ONE.
Oversize, sports & special items
Beyond the basics, the hold takes up to 5 pieces at 23 kg each (32 kg in Business), sized to 100 x 80 x 30 cm. Overweight between 23 and 32 kg is €10 per kg per segment; oversize is €50 per piece. Sports equipment and bikes are carried at €50 per piece per segment (up to 23 kg and 2 m). One thing to plan around: baggage fees are non-refundable and cannot be moved between passengers or flights, so only pre-buy what you are certain you will bring.
Frequently asked questions
Does the cheapest Animawings bundle include a checked bag?
No. The ONE bundle includes a full 8 kg cabin bag and a 4 kg personal item but no hold luggage. The first bundle with a checked bag is PLUS, which adds 1 x 23 kg.
What is the Animawings cabin baggage allowance?
Every bundle includes two cabin pieces: a personal item of 4 kg (20 x 30 x 40 cm) under the seat and a cabin bag of 8 kg (56 x 45 x 25 cm) in the overhead. Business Class raises the cabin bag to 12 kg.
How much does a checked bag cost?
It depends on the route. Added online, a hold bag is €15 domestically within Romania but €50 on international flights. At the airport the domestic price also rises to €50, so book it in advance.
Does PRIORITY ALL INCLUSIVE include a checked bag?
No — this is a common trap. PRIORITY ALL INCLUSIVE gives priority perks but no hold bag. You need PRIORITY ALL INCLUSIVE PLUS (or PLUS) for a checked bag.
