Cabin bag size guide: what to check before you fly

How cabin size limits work, why weight matters too, and how to read a suitcase listing.

What to check

Airlines set cabin limits by height, width and depth, and many also set a weight limit.

Measure including wheels and handles. Listings sometimes give body size only.

Soft bags can squeeze into sizers more easily than hard shells.

Check your airline's current rules, then compare them with the listed size before you press Purchase Now.
