Best used before you book

Cabin bag size differences can change whether you travel with only a carry-on or end up paying for a checked bag later.

Most useful on low-cost routes

Budget airlines often enforce cabin and personal item measurements more tightly than full-service carriers.

Check the airline page for exceptions

Even when a standard cabin size is published, route, fare family, and elite status can still change the allowance.

What is the most common carry-on size?

A common cabin bag benchmark is 55 x 40 x 23 cm, but low-cost carriers and some regional airlines often apply smaller limits.

Do all airlines allow a personal item?

Many full-service airlines do, but some basic-economy and ultra-low-cost fares restrict this or charge extra.
