On the cheapest Breeze fare — the one literally called Nice — you get exactly one thing: a free personal item, 17 x 13 x 8 in (43 x 33 x 20 cm), and it has to fit under the seat in front of you. No overhead carry-on, no checked bag, and on Nice you don’t even get to pick a seat in advance. It’s basic-economy by another name. Everything heavier than a backpack is an add-on.
Step up and the rules loosen fast. A real overhead carry-on (24 x 14 x 10 in / 61 x 35 x 25 cm, max 35 lb) is included on Nicer and Nicest, Nicer throws in one checked bag, and Nicest (the A220 first-class-style tier) gives you two. Buy bags at booking and a first checked bag runs roughly $35–$41; wait until the airport and it can more than double. The fares carry the bags — pay for them up front or budget more.

What you actually get on a cheap fare
What you actually get on a cheap Breeze deal fare: if the deal is a Nice fare, you get a personal item and nothing else — no overhead bin space, no checked bag, no advance seat. For a weekend trip with a backpack that’s genuinely fine and the cheapest way to fly Breeze. For anything longer, the headline price is only the start.
Budget the bag at booking, not the gate. Adding a carry-on or first checked bag during checkout costs around $35–$41; leaving it until the airport can push it toward $75. If you need two bags, do the math against the Nicer bundle (carry-on + one checked included) or Nicest (two checked) — the bundle is often cheaper than buying bags à la carte on top of Nice, and it usually adds a seat assignment too.
Oversize, sports & special items
Oversize and overweight: checked bags between 51–70 lb add roughly $20, 71–99 lb roughly $50, and bags over 99 lb or 80 linear inches are simply refused. Oversize bags from 63–80 linear inches run about $50. Sporting equipment, golf clubs and instruments travel as regular or special checked baggage under those same weight/size thresholds and fees — oversize/overweight charges stack.
2025/2026 notes: Breeze runs an all-Airbus A220 fleet, and the top Nicest tier (a first-class-style product with up to two free checked bags) is an A220 feature — fare availability and bundle inclusions can vary by route and aircraft, so confirm what your specific itinerary includes before assuming the carry-on or checked bag is free.

Each checked bag can weigh up to 50 lb (22 kg) and measure up to 62 linear inches (157 cm). Heavier or larger bags incur overweight/oversize fees, and bags over 99 lb or 80 linear inches are refused.
