I want to know what I can transport for free

On your journey you may transport one small duffle bag or backpack and one stored bag for free.

Label them with your name and address to avoid baggage mix-ups.

Small duffle bag or backpack

Your small duffle bag or backpack is limited to one item with dimensions of 16 x 12 x 7 inches and a maximum weight of 25 lbs.

Slight deviations from these dimensions are permitted provided that the total dimensions of the item do not exceed a total height, width and length of more than 35inches.

Transport all your valuables securely in your small duffle bag or backpack. Stow it on the bus so that the exit and walking areas are not blocked (i.e. in the overhead compartment).

Stored baggage

Your stored baggage is limited to one item with dimensions up to 31 x 20 x 12 inches and a maximum weight of 50 lbs. Please note that there might be exceptions to the baggage policy on some of our lines.

You can find out about the baggage allowance for your trip during the booking process.

Check out the complete Baggage policy for more information.


I need to transport an additional piece of luggage

If there is still room available on the bus, you can bring one or more additional luggage per passenger. Check the applicable fees for additional luggage.

The maximum dimensions of your additional luggage are 31 x 20 x 12 inches and a maximum weight of 50 lbs.

Minor variations (± 4 inches per side) are acceptable, as long as the total dimensions do not exceed 63 inches.

You can book it together with your ticket online or add it after you have booked your trip.

If you prefer to do this offline, add your luggage via FlixShops or official ticket resellers.

Please note that there might be an exception on luggage regulations on certain connections. All information concerning luggage regulations for your trip will be provided during the booking.


I need to transport special or oversized luggage

Special luggage is limited to a total circumference (height + width + depth) of up to 95 in and a weight of up to 75 lb. Check the applicable fees for special luggage.

Add your special luggage as early as possible during the booking process or after booking add it online via Manage My Booking.

The space for special luggage is limited.

There might be an exception on luggage regulations on certain routes.


I'm not sure what I'm allowed to transport

Items of furniture or parts of items of furniture, electrical appliances, surfboards, car parts, cardboard packaging and animals (with the exception of guide dogs and companion dogs) may not be transported on our buses.

You can read further information in our T&C.

For journeys in Australia, surfboards are permitted as special luggage.


I need a luggage tag

If you don't have one you can download and print a luggage tag.


I want to ship my luggage with FlixBus

FlixBus doesn't offer a parcel and package shipping service.

For safety reasons, luggage and bicycles can only be transported with their owners who are travelling with us having a valid ticket.
