Whether you’re flying domestically or internationally, every airline has its own carry-on luggage size restrictions. There is no one-size-fits-all, so you need to check your airline’s specific policy before traveling to ensure your carry-on bag isn’t rejected with potential additional charges.

Below, you’ll find a helpful chart detailing the most popular airlines’ carry-on restrictions, including the size and weight of a standard carry-on, and whether this varies due to the cabin you’re traveling in. We’ve also covered checked luggage sizes and allowances, too.

Don’t forget that there are many ways to avoid paying for baggage fees such as carry-ons and that’s what we cover in our in-depth article.

Unless specified, the maximum weight allowance is across your standard carry-on luggage and personal item combined.

Frequently Asked Questions

There are no standard sizes for carry-on luggage, with every airline assigning their own size and weight restrictions. If you are looking to purchase a carry-on bag that would be accepted by most airlines, then the most common maximum size would be 56 x 36 x 23 cm (22 x 14 x 9 inches) (including all handles and wheels).

The best carry-on bag will depend on your individual requirements, for example, whether you need a wheelie case or a backpack, or a bag with a laptop compartment or built-in security. We’ve highlighted the best carry-on luggage bags for any traveler, ranging from soft and hard shell wheelies to convenient backpacks.

A backpack would be considered a carry-on item if it adheres to the maximum size restrictions of a specific airline. Most airlines have a larger size allowance for a standard carry-on piece and slightly smaller for a personal item (where permitted).

For safety reasons, there are certain items that are prohibited for carry-on luggage. These include individual liquids over 100 ml (3.4 ounces) or a combined allowance over 1 liter (1 quart), sharp objects such as scissors, blades or pen knives, firearms, sporting equipment such as baseball bats or hockey sticks, tools, lighters, matches or other flammable items.

Similar to size restrictions, there are no standards for maximum weight allowances for carry-on luggage. These are defined by each individual airline, with some airlines actually not stating a restriction — just that you must be able to lift the bag into the overhead compartment yourself.

It’s also worth checking whether the airline’s stated weight allowance applies just to your carry-on piece or combined across your carry-on and personal item (if applicable).

Many airlines allow passengers to bring a personal item in addition to a carry-on bag. A personal item is usually a smaller bag such as handbag, briefcase, or laptop bag that should be able to be stored under the seat in front of you. Some airlines specify size and weight restrictions for personal items, while many leave this undisclosed.

If you have booked a “hand baggage only” fare (sometimes referred to as a basic fare), this means that you may only bring hand baggage that is within the airline’s restrictions. No hold baggage is included. Depending on your airline, this may include 1 standard piece of carry-on and 1 smaller personal item. Each airline defines its own size and weight restrictions for carry-on so check the table above for more information.

TSA allows passengers to pack certain items in their carry-on baggage and prohibits others. Liquids may be brought on board under the 3-1-1 rule: maximum of 3.4 ounces per container up to a total of 1 quart, within a clear, zip-top bag, with 1 bag permitted per passenger. Exemptions to this rule are made for infant necessities or required medication. Items such as lighters, blades, and baseball bats are not permitted in your carry-on. See more information in our guide to how to easily get through TSA airport security.

There are no universal standards for carry-on baggage with each airline setting its own size and weight restrictions. If you wanted to purchase a bag that would adhere to most of the different airline standards then this would be 56 x 36 x 23 cm (22 x 14 x 9 inches) (including all handles and wheels).

General chargers for electronic devices can be packed as carry-on or into your checked baggage. If you’re using a portable power bank then most airlines require you to pack this in your carry-on bag due to fire risks from lithium batteries in the hold.

A 24-inch suitcase would be considered a carry-on by some airlines, but not all. Some airlines state max linear dimension only so as long as your other 2 measurements were smaller to allow for the 24-inch length then this would be fine, but generally, a suitcase measuring 22 x 14 x 9 inches would be the most widely accepted. This includes American Airlines and United Airlines.

The size limits shown for Alitalia are not correct according to their web site.

For a personal item, the current limit is 36 cm x 45 cm x 20 cm. In inches, this is 17.1 x 14.2 x 7.9.

For an overhead bag, your chart shows the correct limit in centimeters. But you say that 25 cm is equivalent to 9 inches. But it’s actually equal to 9.84 inches, so 10 inches would be more accurate for the chart.

Hi Malden,

Thank you again for your input. Where only 1 unit of measurement has been provided by the airline, to represent another we have rounded down rather than up to reflect sizing that would be compliant with the airlines rules rather than providing a figure that would not.

that makes sense Cath – especially if you met a stickler for the rules who denied your bag 🙁

Is there anywhere in the US that actually sells the 22x18x10 bag allowed by British Airways? I’m stumped! Thanks.

Christine Krzyszton

Hi Jody. Yes, luggage that size is sold by a large number of retailers in the U.S. Here’s a recent article with some ideas. /best-carry-on-luggage-bags/

Yes, UNDERSEAT PRO sells a carry on with those exact measurements. They designed it for Spirit Airlines, Spirit has the same carry on size allowance as British Airways.

For Austrian Airlines, the maximum size for a personal item says:

40 x 30 x 10 cm
16 x 5.5 x 4 in

30 cm is actually equal to 11.8 inches.

Is a baby carriage that is 44 long, 9 wide and 8 deep folded up small enough to fit on a 787 Dreamliner in business class overhead bin? I have searched everywhere and can not find the size of a overhead bin for this aircraft. Thanks for your help in this matter. Lt Col Vaught, USAF, Ret

Hi Richard,

We recommend that you contact the airline you’re flying with for your query. Hopefully they will be able to help you with the overhead bin size but will also be able to tell you whether you are permitted to take strollers in the cabin or whether these need to be checked. Those airlines that do allow strollers on board will often have specific size restrictions for strollers permitted in the cabin.

I have a duffle bag on wheels the measurements are 24″wide counting the wheels by 121/2″ deep by 121/2″ tall counting the wheels. Can I use this as a carry on for a domestic flight on Southwest airlines?

Hi Patricia,

It looks like you’ve said that your duffle bag is 121 inches deep and 121 inches tall, were you meaning 12.5 x 12.5?

Or it looks like 12 1/2 or 12.5 inches

Hi Patricia,

I would guess that a bag that is 24x 12.5 x 12.5 would be fine to bring on a Southwest plane. In my experience, Southwest seldom seems to measure carry-on bag sizes at the gate unless they seem much larger than the stated limits.

I am going to BMT soon and I have to fly out to Texas and I was wondering if my bag is too big for a carry-on? It’s 22”x12”x”12.

Hi Lana,

It will likely be fine to travel with but if you tell me what airline you’re flying I can give you more specific information.

It seems to be wrong in terms of Eurowings. It only allows the laughably small baggage in the basic fare – similar to other low cost airlines.

How strict is Delta on carry ons that are slightly larger than standard 22x14x9?
Just bought a new Samsonite Theroym 23.5×15.5×10.5
Thanks!

Hi Jim,
It really depends on the gate agents. They may let it slide but there’s a chance they would make you check it at the gate. Good luck!

Hi Shirley,

You can bring both of those items on board without issue.

Hi Ari,

Thank you for pointing that out, I’ve just updated the post.

This is how I read it too but everyone seems to say on forums that the personal item size for Allegiant is smaller than this. Has it changed recently?

In the event that the official size for the height of the carry-on bag is 55 cm, according to which airlines I will be traveling on, and my bag is 56 cm. Will the bag pass to the cabin or will it be considered as checked baggage?

Hi Azzam – That would probably be at the discretion of whomever checks you in. Thanks for reading!
