Enter Air is Poland’s biggest charter airline — an all-Boeing 737 leisure operator that mostly flies aircraft on behalf of tour operators, with some seats sold direct. That business model is the single most important thing to understand about its baggage, so here it is plainly: if you booked a package holiday, your tour operator sets the checked-bag allowance, not Enter Air. The kilos printed on your travel documents from TUI, Itaka, Coral or whoever packaged the trip are the ones that count.
Where Enter Air’s own rules do apply — direct bookings and the cabin allowance on every flight — they are tight and charter-typical. Hand baggage is a modest 5 kg at up to 55 × 40 × 20 cm, plus a small personal item. Checked baggage on Enter Air’s own terms is usually 20 kg, but drops to 16 kg on a specific list of long, hot-and-high destinations.
So before you pack, find out who owns your allowance. On a package, read the operator’s ticket. On a direct Enter Air booking, use the numbers below — and do not assume the generous allowance you had on a scheduled airline carries over, because on a charter it usually does not.

What you actually get on a cheap fare
The mistake that costs Enter Air passengers money is treating it like a scheduled airline. It is not — the cabin allowance is only 5 kg, roughly half what many carriers give you, and it is enforced at leisure gates where overhead space on a full 737 charter is scarce. Pack heavy items and anything you truly need into the hold bag, keep the cabin bag genuinely light, and weigh it at home. A 9 kg “carry-on” that sailed onto your last easyJet flight can be pulled here.
On the checked side, the golden rule is find your allowance source. Package travellers should ignore third-party “Enter Air baggage” summaries entirely and read the kilos on the tour operator’s ticket — that number wins, and it is the one the check-in desk uses. Direct bookers should note the 16 kg cut on long-haul leisure routes to the Gulf, Cape Verde, Sri Lanka and Zanzibar; it is easy to overpack against a 20 kg assumption and pay excess at the airport.
Frequently asked questions
How much baggage do I get on Enter Air?
It depends on how you booked. On a package holiday your tour operator sets the checked-bag allowance, so read your operator’s travel documents. On a direct Enter Air booking the checked allowance is typically 20 kg (16 kg on certain long routes), and the cabin allowance on every flight is 5 kg.
Who decides my checked baggage allowance on Enter Air?
For package tours, the tour operator that leased the aircraft sets the checked allowance — Enter Air simply operates the flight. Only the cabin baggage rules and direct-booking allowances come from Enter Air itself. Always check your booking confirmation or operator ticket for the exact figure.
What is the Enter Air cabin baggage allowance?
One cabin bag up to 55 × 40 × 20 cm and 5 kg, plus one small personal item such as a handbag, laptop or camera. The 5 kg limit is lower than most scheduled airlines and is enforced at the gate, so keep your carry-on light and put heavy items in the hold.
Why is my Enter Air checked allowance only 16 kg?
On a set of long, leisure routes — flights via airports such as Dubai, Ras Al Khaimah, Colombo, Zanzibar, Salalah, Sal and Fujairah — the standard direct-booking checked allowance drops to 16 kg instead of 20 kg. If you are flying to one of these, plan against 16 kg to avoid excess fees.
Can I add extra baggage to an Enter Air flight?
Yes, but how you do it depends on your booking. On a package tour you add or upgrade baggage through your tour operator. On a direct Enter Air booking you can pre-purchase extra weight, which is cheaper than paying excess at the airport. Sort it out before you travel rather than at check-in.
Is Enter Air a low-cost airline?
No — Enter Air is a charter airline, Poland’s largest, flying Boeing 737 aircraft mainly for tour operators. That means its baggage terms behave like a package-holiday carrier: tight cabin limits, and a checked allowance that is often defined by your tour operator rather than a published fare menu.
Does Enter Air fly Boeing 737 MAX aircraft?
Yes. Enter Air operates an all-Boeing 737 fleet, including 737-800 and newer 737 MAX aircraft, used for charter and leisure flying across Europe, the Mediterranean, the Gulf, Cape Verde and the Indian Ocean. Baggage rules are the same regardless of the 737 variant.
