If your bag is too big at the gate
Hand baggage is checked at boarding. If your bag is over the size or weight limit, you pay an excess hand baggage fee before you board, and the bag may have to go in the hold. If you don't pay, SunExpress can refuse to fly you.
€80 per route (£80 when departing from the UK)
It’s almost always cheaper to add the right bag when you book or online before you fly.

Usually yes. The limit is on size, not on the type of bag, so a backpack that measures 40 × 30 × 20 cm or less when packed fits the free allowance. Straps and pockets count towards the size.
What are the liquids rules for SunExpress hand luggage?
SunExpress doesn’t set the liquids limit. The airport you fly from does: some airports still enforce 100 ml, while others now allow containers up to 2 litres. Check your departure airport on our liquids rules page.
