Baggage rules for flights from Rhodes Diagoras Airport (RHO) depend on your airline and the fare you bought far more than on the airport itself. The same 23-kilo suitcase flies free on an Aegean ComfortFlex ticket, comes bundled with a TUI package holiday, and costs extra on Ryanair, Jet2 or a SKY express SKY Joy fare. Pick your airline and fare below to see exactly what you can bring, and what the excess will cost if you are over.
⚠ Aegean's fare bundles changed recently — sources disagree on whether Flex still includes a checked bag. Verify what your booking shows before you pack.
Allowances for flights departing Rhodes (RHO), from the airline's official baggage page. Updated 2026-07-15. Fares and fees change — always confirm with your airline before you pack.
First, the island's traffic is heavily seasonal: most charter and leisure carriers (TUI, Jet2, Condor, Eurowings) publish one set of rules year-round, but their summer Rhodes flights are usually sold both as packages and flight-only, and the included luggage differs sharply between the two. Check which type your booking is before you rely on a "free" hold bag.
Second, buying baggage online in advance is consistently cheaper than paying at the check-in desk, and on low-cost carriers the airport price can be roughly double. If your plans changed and you suddenly need a hold bag for the flight home, add it in the airline app the night before rather than at the airport.
Third, the olive oil, wine and ceramics that fill suitcases at the end of a Rhodes holiday weigh more than people expect. A kitchen scale at your hotel, or the bathroom-scale trick (weigh yourself with and without the bag), costs nothing; excess fees of 12 pounds or 13 euros per extra kilo add up brutally fast.
Standard EU security rules apply at RHO: liquids in cabin baggage up to 100 ml per container in a clear resealable bag. Duty-free bought airside travels in addition to your cabin allowance on most carriers, but sealed duty-free bags can be opened at transfer security if you connect outside the EU, so on connecting itineraries buy liquids at the final airport. When in doubt, the airline's own baggage page is the authority for your booking; every entry in the checker above links to the official source.
