Conditions to know

  • Two sources agree on 55 × 40 × 23 cm; one lists a smaller bag. We use the larger figure and mark it “check first”.
  • Fare class affects what is included. Confirm at booking.
  • 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.
