How do I check if my bag meets an airline's size limit?

Measure the bag's height, width and depth with wheels and handles included, enter those numbers here, then add each airline on your itinerary. The checker compares your measurements against every carrier's published carry-on, personal item and checked bag limits and flags the strictest one.

What is the most common carry-on size limit?

Most full-service carriers publish 22 x 14 x 9 inches (56 x 36 x 23 cm) for cabin bags, but low-cost carriers in Europe and Asia are often smaller and add a weight limit of 7 to 10 kg. Always check the specific carrier you are flying.

Which airline's rules apply on a connecting itinerary?

Every operating carrier can enforce its own limit at its own gate, so the practical rule is the strictest one on your itinerary. Add each segment to the checker and it returns that strictest verdict.

Do baggage rules cover liquids and power banks?

No. Size, weight and fees are set by the airline, while liquids, lithium batteries and prohibited items are set by the security authority of your departure country. Both apply to the same bag, so the checker shows them side by side.
