What are the current carry-on and checked baggage rules on flydubai flights to/from Dubai?
Based on 2 discussions with 3 participants · Last activity: 28 days ago
TL;DR
flydubai generally allows a small suitcase plus a backpack as carry-on, but it's worth confirming at booking since rules can tighten. On return flights, customs may do extra baggage checks (e.g., for items like motor oil for a sport bike).
