Loganair is the UK’s largest regional airline, flying a mix of ATR turboprops, Embraer regional jets and small island aircraft across Scotland, the rest of the UK and a handful of European routes. Its baggage rules are tiered by fare bundle (Fly, Fly Flex and Fly Flex+), and — unusually — its smallest aircraft impose a hard 15 kg total hold limit on certain Highlands and Islands routes where you cannot pre-book extra bags at all.
The figures below were verified against Loganair’s current published policy.

What you actually get on a cheap fare
The aifly angle: Loganair’s cheapest published ‘Fly’ fare is genuinely generous for a regional carrier — at deal prices it still includes a 10 kg cabin bag and a 15 kg checked bag, so the headline fare is close to your all-in cost. That is a real contrast with the big budget airlines, where a hold bag is always an extra charge.
The catch is the aircraft, not the fare. If your itinerary touches Barra, Tiree, Campbeltown or the Orkney inter-isles, your total hold allowance drops to 15 kg and you cannot buy extra capacity. So a cheap Loganair fare to a major hub like Glasgow, Aberdeen or Edinburgh behaves very differently from one onto a small island — check the route, not just the price, before you assume your bag is covered.
Oversize, sports & special items
Special and oversize items: Sports equipment and musical instruments can normally be checked into the hold but are only accepted if space is available, so they are not guaranteed on busy or small-aircraft services. Golf clubs cost from £10 one-way, with a maximum of eight sets per aircraft.
Island and inter-isle routes: Services to/from Barra, Tiree, Campbeltown and within the Orkney inter-isles are limited to 15 kg of hold luggage in total, and additional baggage cannot be pre-booked on these routes due to aircraft weight restrictions.
Fees vary by purchase channel and route: the from-£25 extra-bag price applies online via Manage My Booking; booking through customer support or third-party agents costs more. Always confirm the exact figure for your route and fare at the time of booking, as Loganair adjusts charges periodically.
Frequently asked questions
What is Loganair's cabin baggage size and weight in 2026?
One cabin bag up to 40 × 35 × 18 cm and 6 kg, plus one small personal item such as a handbag or compact laptop bag. The 6 kg limit is lower than many full-service airlines, so pack light. On smaller island aircraft, cabin bags may be moved to the hold at boarding because overhead space is very limited.
Does Loganair's cheapest fare include a checked bag?
Yes. Unlike most low-cost carriers, the cheapest Loganair 'Fly' fare already includes one checked bag up to 15 kg, plus the 6 kg cabin bag and a personal item. You only pay extra if you need more weight or a second bag.
How much does an extra checked bag cost on Loganair?
An additional checked bag of up to 15 kg costs from £25 when booked online through Manage My Booking. Buying through the call centre or a third-party agent costs more, and on the small-aircraft island routes you cannot pre-book an extra bag at all.
What is the checked baggage weight limit by fare?
Fly includes 15 kg, Fly Flex includes 23 kg and Fly Flex+ includes 30 kg. The maximum weight for any single checked bag is 30 kg — a bag heavier than that must be split.
Why is baggage limited to 15 kg on some Loganair routes?
Flights to and from Barra, Tiree, Campbeltown and within the Orkney inter-isles use very small aircraft with strict weight limits. On these routes you are capped at 15 kg of hold luggage in total (across all bags) and cannot pre-book additional baggage. Plan accordingly if you connect onto these services.
Can I take golf clubs, sports gear or a musical instrument on Loganair?
Sports equipment and musical instruments are normally accepted in the hold subject to space. Golf clubs carry a fee from £10 one-way, and each aircraft can carry a maximum of eight sets of clubs — book early if you are travelling in a group, as space is limited and not guaranteed.
