As is the case with all airlines, bmi regional baggage allowance is based on both the size and weight of your baggage. If you purchase Sale, Classic or Classic Plus tickets for your flight, you can check-in one piece of baggage weighing up to 23 kg free of charge. If you purchase ‘Executive fare’ tickets, you’re allowed two pieces of baggage each weighing up to 23 kg, or a combined total not exceeding 46 kg free of charge. If you exceed these weight limits, your baggage will be subject to excess baggage charges. If you are travelling with an infant, you’re entitled to an extra 10 kg of free checked hand baggage and one stroller, which must be fully collapsible.

Note that valuables can’t be carried in checked baggage. These include money, jewellery, electronic devices and important documents. In addition, your checked baggage mustn’t include e-cigarettes, which are considered a fire risk due to being powered by lithium batteries. Those and spare lithium batteries must be carried in your hand luggage. Items that are considered a security risk, but not a fire or explosive risk, must be carried as checked baggage and not cabin baggage. These include sharp objects and toy guns. No other items that could present an explosive or fire risk may be carried on the aircraft at all.

What hand luggage can I take on bmi regional?

Unless you’re travelling on an Executive fare ticket, bmi regional cabin baggage restrictions are such that you can carry one piece of hand luggage plus a small purse, laptop or other small item at the discretion of check-in staff.

If you’re travelling on Executive fare, you’re allowed two pieces of hand luggage, each with the same dimensions and weight restrictions as non Executive fare tickets. If any item of hand luggage, regardless of your class of ticket, exceeds the maximum dimensions or weight restrictions, it will be placed in the hold and returned to you as you disembark from the aircraft. If your destination airport is Southampton, East Midlands or Graz, it will be returned in the airport baggage reclaim area.
