Rhodes Airport Baggage Allowances by Airline (2026 Checker)
By the Rhodes Airport editorial team · Reviewed September 2026
What leaves Rhodes Diagoras Airport (RHO) in your suitcase is decided by the fare code on your ticket, not by the airport. The same 23-kilo case flies free on an Aegean ComfortFlex ticket, comes bundled in a TUI package, and is a paid extra on Ryanair, Jet2 or a SKY express SKY Joy fare. Pick the carrier and fare below — nine airlines, each linked to its own baggage page — and the checker shows the allowance and the excess that applies.
⚠ Aegean's fare bundles changed recently — sources disagree on whether Flex still includes a checked bag. Verify what your booking shows before you pack.

Three Rhodes-specific things worth knowing
First, which version of the flight you bought. TUI, Jet2, Condor and Eurowings sell the summer Rhodes routes twice over — as a package holiday and as a flight-only seat — and the flight-only version of the identical aircraft often carries no hold bag at all. Look for the word "package" on the confirmation before you count on a free case.
Second, the desk charges roughly double the app. Excess runs about €13 or £12 per kilo, so three kilos over costs €39 at the counter against nothing if you add the bag the night before. Weigh the case at the hotel — the olive oil, wine and ceramics that leave this island weigh more than anyone expects, and a bathroom scale settles it in a minute.
Third, there is nowhere to put the overflow. Diagoras has no left-luggage office anywhere in the terminal, so a bag that will not fit has to be paid for, repacked into cabin size, or left at the hotel. That cuts both ways: you cannot park a case here for a day trip either.
Liquids, duty-free and connections
Greece is in the EU, so the usual rule holds at RHO: liquids in containers of 100 ml or less, in one clear resealable bag. Duty-free bought airside rides on top of the cabin allowance with most carriers, though a sealed bag can be opened at transfer security if you change planes outside the EU — on a connecting ticket, buy the bottles at the last airport instead. A direct flight home raises none of this. Two more things to settle landside: there is no smoking area past security here, and the walk from bag drop to the gates is drawn on our airport map.

Baggage FAQ
Is checked baggage included in my ticket?▾
It depends on the fare. Full-service economy fares usually include a checked allowance, while the cheapest low-cost "lite" or "basic" fares are cabin-only and you add a hold bag for a fee. Pick your airline and fare in the checker above to see what is included.
How much does an extra or overweight bag cost?▾
It varies by airline and route, and buying online in advance is almost always cheaper than paying at the airport, where the price can roughly double on low-cost carriers. The checker shows each airline's overweight and oversize notes and links to its official baggage page for the exact fee.
What is the maximum weight for a single checked bag?▾
Almost every airline caps one checked bag at 32 kg (70 lb) for baggage-handler safety, no matter how large your total allowance is. If you are over, split the load across two bags rather than paying a heavy-bag penalty.
How big can my cabin bag be?▾
Most economy cabin allowances are around 7 to 8 kg with dimensions near 55 x 40 x 23 cm, but the exact figure changes by airline and fare. Check the "Cabin bag" row in the checker for your carrier before you pack.
Can I bring wine, olive oil or ceramics home from Rhodes?▾
Yes, in checked baggage, as long as you stay within your weight allowance. In cabin baggage, liquids are limited to 100 ml per container. Bottles bought in duty-free airside travel sealed, but may be re-screened if you connect through a non-EU airport.
