Last reviewed October 30, 2026. Cross-checked against: US travel-advice roundup (2025); European cabin-bag guides.

Conditions to know

  • Guides show a combined weight limit of about 12 kg across both items.
  • The cabin bag is narrower (35 cm) than the Canadian standard; many 40 cm wide bags are too wide.
  • Most airlines measure the whole bag including wheels, handles and pockets, so use packed dimensions.

Check before you fly

Use the allowance shown in your booking as the final word, especially for basic or promotional fares. Recheck the packed bag, including wheels, handles and full pockets.
