Luggage For Travel

Free Carry-On Size & Weight Checker

Check your bag against carry-on rules for 51 airlines worldwide. Pick your airline, choose the correct allowance type for your fare, enter your bag dimensions, and get an instant result.

This checker is allowance-aware — many airlines use different size and weight rules depending on whether your fare includes a personal item only, a standard carry-on, or a paid cabin bag upgrade.

Always confirm your exact fare type and baggage allowance with the airline before travel. Airlines can change rules, and some routes or fare families have stricter limits than shown here.

How to measure your carry-on properly

  • Measure the bag fully packed, not empty and relaxed.
  • Include wheels, handles, side pockets, bumpers and any protruding parts.
  • Strict airlines (Ryanair, Wizz Air, Spirit) are more likely to check at the gate — leave a margin rather than aiming at the exact maximum.
  • Some airlines enforce a combined carry-on + personal item weight — weigh everything together.

Quick answers

Does fare type change my allowance?

Yes. On many airlines a cheaper fare includes only a personal item (under-seat bag), while a standard or upgraded fare includes a full carry-on in the overhead locker.

Do wheels and handles count towards the size?

Yes. Measure the full external size including wheels, handles, bumpers and any bulging pockets.

What if the airline weighs cabin bags?

Enter your bag weight as well as dimensions. Airlines such as Ryanair, Wizz Air, Emirates, Qatar and most Asian carriers enforce strict 7–10 kg cabin bag limits.

Should I still check with the airline directly?

Yes. This tool is for quick pre-travel checking, but airlines can and do change policies. Always verify your specific fare allowance before you travel.

Why does the checker sort dimensions rather than compare length-to-length?

Because you can rotate a bag to fit. The checker uses best-fit logic: it sorts your bag's three dimensions and the airline's three limits from largest to smallest, then compares them — the fairest real-world test.
