Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between carry-on and personal item?
A carry-on is your main cabin bag that goes in the overhead bin. A personal item is a smaller bag (like a purse, laptop bag, or small backpack) that fits under the seat in front of you. Most airlines allow both.
What is linear total?
Linear total is the sum of length + width + height. Many airlines use this measurement for checked bags instead of individual dimension limits. For example, a 157cm linear limit means L+W+H must not exceed 157cm.
Do these limits include wheels and handles?
Yes, airline limits typically include wheels, handles, and any external pockets. Measure your bag at its largest points with handles extended.
What happens if my bag is too big?
If your carry-on exceeds limits, you may be required to check it at the gate, often for an additional fee. For checked bags, oversized luggage typically incurs extra charges.
Why do limits vary by airline?
Each airline sets its own policies based on aircraft types, overhead bin sizes, and business decisions. Budget airlines often have stricter limits, while premium carriers may be more generous.
