Conditions to know
- News coverage reports a carry-on size change effective May 2025. Some blogs still quote the earlier, larger size.
- Allowances depend on the fare you book. Confirm what your fare includes before you travel.
- Measure the whole bag including wheels and handles.
- 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.
