FAQ

Airline baggage allowance FAQs

Quick answers to common questions about carry-on size, checked weight, and excess fees. Always confirm current rules on your airline's official website.

What is the standard carry-on size limit for airlines?

Most airlines allow a carry-on bag around 55 x 40 x 20 cm (22 x 18 x 14 in) plus one smaller personal item, but exact limits vary by airline and cabin class. Use the checker above, then confirm on your airline's official website before you fly.

How heavy can my checked bag be?

Economy checked bags are commonly capped at 23 kg (50 lb), with overweight fees above that, while business and first class often allow 30 to 32 kg. Always verify the exact weight limit and fee for your airline and route.

Are baggage allowances different on international flights?

Yes. Some airlines apply a piece concept (for example 2 bags) on transatlantic routes and a weight concept elsewhere, and US, Canada, or Australia routes may differ from the standard allowance. Check the route-specific rules before you travel.

Can I bring a personal item as well as my carry-on?

Most airlines let you bring one small personal item (a handbag or laptop bag) that fits under the seat, plus your carry-on. Budget carriers may charge for a full-size cabin bag, so confirm the policy on your airline's website.

These answers are general guidance. Baggage rules change and vary by airline, route, and cabin — always verify on the airline's official website before travelling.
