Enter Air Baggage Policy: Allowances, Size Limits, and Fees
Enter Air (IATA: E4, ICAO: ENT) is Poland’s largest charter airline, operating leisure flights across Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. Because Enter Air operates flights primarily on behalf of major tour operators such as TUI, Itaka, and Coral Travel, specific baggage allowances are governed by your individual vacation package contract rather than a single direct commercial ticket.
Enter Air allows one carry-on bag up to 5 kg (11 lbs) measuring at most 55 × 40 × 20 cm (21.6 × 15.7 × 7.8 inches). Checked baggage allowances generally range between 16 kg and 20 kg (35.2 to 44.1 lbs) depending strictly on your tour operator contract. European occupational safety rules cap any single piece of luggage at 32 kg (70.5 lbs). Verify your travel agency confirmation voucher to confirm your ticketed checked weight.
Baggage Allowance Snapshot
Enter Air enforces a strict 5 kg cabin baggage limit across all flights. Checked baggage allowances vary between 16 kg and 20 kg based on your tour operator package agreement.
What can change: Checked baggage weight allowances and excess luggage tariffs are set by individual tour operators and departure airport handling agents.

Official Source Verification
Baggage rules can vary by fare, cabin, route, operating carrier, traveler status, and purchase channel. BaggageBase separates published rules from practical guidance.
How BaggageBase Checks This Information
BaggageBase cross-references Enter Air’s General Conditions of Carriage with active European tour operator contracts, ground handling notices, and aviation authority rules. Because Enter Air functions as a charter carrier, individual ticket rules originate with the tour firm issuing the package holiday. Where specific rates or dimensions vary by tour organizer or departure country, we indicate that variation rather than stating a single unverified figure.
Carry-On Baggage Rules
Enter Air permits each paying passenger one piece of cabin baggage. The maximum dimensions are 55 × 40 × 20 cm (approximately 21.6 × 15.7 × 7.8 inches), and the bag must weigh no more than 5 kg (11 lbs).
The official source does not clearly state whether wheels, handles, and outer pockets are excluded from the 55 × 40 × 20 cm measurement. When packing, measure the total exterior dimensions of your bag. Airport sizers evaluate the entire outer frame, and protruding wheels can cause a bag to fail the test.
A 5 kg weight limit is stricter than the carry-on limits found on most European scheduled airlines. To see how these rules compare to typical international limits, read our guide on international carry-on size. You can also view our airline carry-on size comparison to evaluate Enter Air against other regional airlines.
| Item | Allowance | Size or fit rule | Important condition |
|---|---|---|---|
| Main Carry-On Bag | 1 piece | 55 × 40 × 20 cm (21.6 × 15.7 × 7.8 in) | Maximum weight is 5 kg (11 lbs); must fit in overhead bin or under seat |
Personal Item Rules
Enter Air does not grant a separate free personal item allowance.
Unlike network carriers that allow a carry-on suitcase plus an additional laptop backpack or handbag, Enter Air expects all personal effects to fit inside your single 5 kg cabin bag. Small purchases made at the airport duty-free shops are generally permitted alongside your cabin bag, provided they remain reasonable in volume.
If you carry a laptop bag, small purse, or camera pouch, pack it inside your primary carry-on bag before arriving at the boarding gate. Gate agents can require you to consolidate multiple loose items into one piece. If your combined hand baggage exceeds 5 kg, the ground crew may move the bag to the cargo hold.
Checked Baggage Allowance and Tour Contracts
Enter Air operates charter flights under commercial agreements with tour companies such as TUI, Itaka, Coral Travel, Sun & Fun, and Rainbow Tours. Because the tour operator contracts the aircraft capacity, that operator determines the checked baggage allowance included with your package.
Standard charter agreements generally provide one of two allowances:
- 20 kg (44.1 lbs): The standard checked luggage allowance on most traditional week-long or two-week package vacations.
- 16 kg (35.2 lbs): A lower weight cap contracted by certain budget tour programs or short-break holiday itineraries.
- 0 kg: "Seat-only" promotional flight bookings may exclude hold baggage completely, requiring you to purchase an allowance separately.
Always inspect your flight confirmation or tour operator voucher. The allowance printed on that document governs your flight.
Baggage Pooling Rules
Enter Air allows baggage pooling for travelers sharing the same booking reference or tour voucher, such as families or couples checking in together.
Pooling lets you combine your total allowance across fewer bags. For example, two passengers who each hold a 20 kg allowance have a combined pool of 40 kg.
However, you cannot pack that 40 kg into a single suitcase. Under European occupational health and safety regulations for airport baggage handlers, no single piece of luggage may ever exceed 32 kg (70.5 lbs). If two travelers share a 40 kg allowance, they must distribute the weight across at least two separate bags (for example, one 25 kg bag and one 15 kg bag).
| Baggage Parameter | Standard Charter Package | Budget Charter Package | Safety Maximum |
|---|---|---|---|
| Base Weight Limit | 20 kg (44.1 lbs) | 16 kg (35.2 lbs) | 32 kg (70.5 lbs) |
| Maximum Dimensions | Standard handling envelope (~80 × 120 × 100 cm) | Standard handling envelope (~80 × 120 × 100 cm) | Must fit standard airport conveyor systems |
| Weight Pooling Allowed | Yes (same reservation) | Yes (same reservation) | Capped at 32 kg for any individual bag |
Excess Baggage and Overweight Fees
If your checked bag exceeds the weight limit printed on your travel voucher, you must pay an excess baggage fee at the airport check-in desk.
Enter Air charges for excess checked weight on a per-kilogram basis. Exact rates vary depending on your departure airport, local handling agents, and currency. Fees generally range between €6 and €12 (or approximately 30 to 50 PLN) per excess kilogram.
If you know you will exceed your luggage allowance, contact your tour operator before departure. Purchasing extra weight allowances through the tour agency's customer service portal prior to travel is almost always cheaper than paying per-kilo excess fees at the airport counter.
| Condition | Threshold | Additional fee | Acceptance limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Overweight Checked Bag | Exceeds ticketed 16 kg or 20 kg voucher limit | Charged per excess kilogram at check-in (~€6–€12 / ~30–50 PLN per kg) | Must be repacked if bag exceeds 32 kg (70.5 lbs) |
| Additional Checked Bag | Extra suitcase not included on voucher | Varies by tour operator agreement | Maximum 32 kg per individual bag |
Fare Classes and Carrier Differences
Enter Air operates an all-economy fleet consisting of Boeing 737 aircraft. The airline does not offer premium economy, business class cabins, or dedicated frequent-flyer loyalty tiers with complimentary extra baggage.
If you regularly fly on European vacation routes, you will encounter similar operational models on other regional charter airlines. To see how another major Central European holiday carrier manages its allowances, review our breakdown of the Smartwings baggage policy.
Infant and Mobility Equipment Rules
Traveling with Infants
Under standard Enter Air regulations, infants under two years of age traveling on an adult's lap do not receive an independent checked baggage allowance.
However, Enter Air transports one fully collapsible stroller, pram, or pushchair free of charge in the cargo hold for each traveling infant. In most airports, you can wheel the pushchair through security and leave it at the aircraft boarding steps or jet bridge, where handling staff will load it into the hold.
Mobility Equipment
In compliance with European Regulation (EC) No 1107/2006, passengers with disabilities or reduced mobility may transport up to two pieces of mobility equipment, including manual or electric wheelchairs, free of charge. You must notify your tour operator and the airline at least 48 hours before departure, particularly if traveling with a battery-powered wheelchair, to ensure battery safety compliance.
Special Baggage: Sports Gear and Musical Instruments
Because charter flights carry high passenger volumes and significant vacation luggage, hold space for oversized sports equipment is limited.
Sports Equipment
You must register sports items with your tour operator well in advance of departure. Sports gear is charged as a flat fee per flight direction, typically ranging from €30 to €60 (approximately 120 to 250 PLN) per item depending on the item category and tour operator contract.
- Bicycles: Must be packed in a protective box or bag. Handlebars must be turned sideways, pedals removed, and tires deflated.
- Diving Gear: Air tanks must be completely empty with valves open, and dive torches must have batteries disconnected.
- Kitesurfing, Surfboards, and Golf Bags: Must be packed in dedicated travel covers and conform to charter weight maximums (typically under 30 kg or 32 kg).
Musical Instruments
Small musical instruments (such as violins or flutes) may be brought into the cabin as your sole carry-on item, provided the case does not exceed 55 × 40 × 20 cm and stays within the 5 kg weight limit.
Larger instruments must either be booked with an extra passenger seat through your tour operator or packed in a rigid flight case and checked into the aircraft hold under standard excess handling conditions.
Gate Checks and Non-Compliant Baggage
Ground staff at leisure airports frequently weigh carry-on bags at the boarding gate.
If your carry-on luggage exceeds the 5 kg limit or does not fit inside the sizing frame, gate agents will remove the bag and transfer it to the aircraft cargo hold. When this occurs, you may be charged an airport gate handling fee, payable immediately by card.
Always pack critical travel items in a small internal pouch:
- Passports, boarding cards, and identification documents.
- Prescription medications.
- Power banks, spare lithium batteries, and e-cigarettes (which are legally prohibited from the cargo hold).
- Fragile valuables and key electronics.
Enter Air Baggage Checklist
Follow these steps before heading to the airport to avoid surprise baggage charges on your charter flight.
- Check your tour confirmation voucher. Confirm whether your package provides a 16 kg or 20 kg checked luggage allowance.
- Weigh your cabin bag with a home luggage scale. Ensure your carry-on weighs 5 kg (11 lbs) or less, including all electronics and accessories.
- Measure outer carry-on dimensions. Verify that wheels, handles, and packed exterior pockets fit within 55 × 40 × 20 cm.
- Avoid packing single bags over 32 kg when pooling. Distribute weight across multiple suitcases so no individual piece breaches the 32 kg safety cap.
- Keep all lithium batteries in your carry-on bag. Power banks and loose batteries are strictly forbidden inside checked luggage.
- Arrive at least 2.5 hours before departure. Charter check-in queues can be long, and desks close strictly 45 minutes before takeoff.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I bring a separate laptop bag or purse in addition to my carry-on bag on Enter Air?
No. Enter Air's standard policy provides for only one cabin bag up to 5 kg. You should place your laptop sleeve, handbag, or purse inside your primary carry-on bag before boarding to avoid gate issues.
Does my Enter Air ticket include 16 kg or 20 kg of checked baggage?
This depends entirely on your tour operator contract. Most standard package holidays provide 20 kg, while budget or short-haul charter agreements often limit hold luggage to 16 kg. Check the baggage section of your travel voucher for the exact figure.
Can two people traveling together on Enter Air combine their checked baggage weight into one suitcase?
Yes, passengers listed on the same booking voucher can pool their weight allowance. However, no single suitcase may exceed 32 kg (70.5 lbs) due to airport occupational safety rules.
What happens if my carry-on bag weighs more than 5 kg at the gate?
Ground staff will remove overweight carry-on bags and load them into the cargo hold. You may be charged an airport handling surcharge before boarding.
How much does Enter Air charge per kilogram for excess baggage at the airport?
Excess baggage fees are assessed per kilogram at check-in desks, typically ranging from €6 to €12 (approximately 30 to 50 PLN) per excess kilo depending on the departure airport and local currency.
Are baby strollers transported for free on Enter Air flights?
Yes. Enter Air transports one fully collapsible pushchair or stroller per infant free of charge in the cargo hold.
How do I register sports equipment on an Enter Air flight?
Contact your tour operator or travel agency well in advance of departure to register your gear. Sports items carry a flat fee per flight direction and must fit standard sports packaging rules.
Enter Air's baggage policy is designed around charter holiday operations. The most critical step is reviewing your tour operator's voucher to confirm whether you have a 16 kg or 20 kg checked luggage allowance.
Because the carry-on limit is strictly capped at 5 kg and does not include a separate personal item, weigh your hand luggage carefully before leaving home. When traveling as a group, take advantage of baggage pooling, but ensure no single bag exceeds the 32 kg safety limit.
Airline baggage rules and fees can change by route, fare, cabin, operating carrier, traveler status, purchase channel, and departure date. Check the airline's official baggage policy or calculator before booking, paying, or traveling. BaggageBase reviews information for 2026 where possible, but the airline's published terms remain the final authority.
