The small bag must fit under the seat in front of you and can measure up to 40 × 30 × 20 cm (15.7 × 11.8 × 7.9 in). It is included with every fare.
Is the larger cabin bag free on Norwegian?
No. On Norwegian the larger cabin bag is available with LowFare+ or Flex, or as a paid extra — only the small under-seat bag is included in the basic fare.
What happens if my bag is too big at the gate?
If your bag doesn't fit the sizer, it is checked into the hold and you pay a gate fee — typically the most expensive way to bring a bag. Measure your bag including wheels and handles before you fly, and check the current rules on Norwegian's official baggage page.
