Information on cabin baggage

When you travel, you should find out about the number and total weight of baggage to be kept in the cabin. This information varies according to your cabin and airline.

Dimensions, weight and number of baggage items

The International Air Transport Association has set a maximum size for a carry-on suitcase, including wheels and handles. This standard size is 56 cm high, 45 cm long and 25 cm wide. However, these dimensions may vary by a few centimetres depending on the airline. For example, on Air France, cabin baggage must not exceed 55 x 35 x 25 cm. On other airlines, the dimensions are 55 x 40 x 20 cm.

The number of cabin baggage is often limited to two. You can therefore carry a suitcase and an accessory. On many airlines, this number varies according to the cabin you are in. With Air France, if you are in the Premium Economy, Business or La Première cabin, you are entitled to three baggage items, i.e. two suitcases and 1 accessory.

The weight also varies according to the cabin. If you are in Economy class, all your baggage must not weigh more than not exceed 12 kg. For other cabins, the weight can be up to 18 kg. The cabin bag must be stored in the baggage compartment above your seat.

Accessories authorised in the cabin

The personal accessory you keep in addition to your suitcase must also comply with certain dimensions. The size varies from airline to airline. For most airlines, the maximum size is 40 x 30 x 15 cm or 40 x 30 x 10 cm. Some airlines allow up to 45 x 35 x 20 cm. However, Aer Lingus only accepts accessories measuring 33 x 25 x 20 cm.

This accessory can be a handbag, a simple bag or a bag for a camera or laptop.... It should be slid under the seat in front of you. If you're sitting next to an emergency exit, however, you'll need to put it in the luggage compartment.
