The International Air Transport Association (IATA)
sets guidelines for cabin baggage / hand
luggage/carry-on luggage size. They are not mandatory,
however, and individual airlines can and do vary their requirements. The IATA guideline states:
Cabin baggage should have maximum length of 22 in (56 cm), width of 18 in
(45 cm) and depth of 10 in (25 cm). The sum of these three dimensions
should not exceed the 45 in (115 cm). These dimensions include wheels,
handles, side pockets, etc.
As an example of the lack of standardisation some of the following
airlines requirements are:
Austrian Airlines - Hand luggage may not exceed 8 kg in weight or a
maximum size of 55 x 40 x 23 cm.
British Airways - One bag; 56cm x 45cm x 25cm (22in x 18in x 10in)
Jet Airways - Hand baggage dimensions vary according to the model of
aircraft.
Malaysian Airlines - One bag; 115 cubic cm (56cm x 36cm x 23cm) or 45
cubic inches (22" x 14" x 9"), not exceeding 5 kg |

Virgin Atlantic - One bag, not larger than 23cm x 36cm x 56cm (9in x
14in X 22in) overall and should also not weigh more than 6kg
Following the increase in restrictions imposed on flights from UK
airports and to the USA after the events of August 2006 (2006
transatlantic aircraft plot), hand baggage on such flights was
restricted to one cabin bag no bigger than 45cm x 35cm x 16cm . On 21
September 2006, the UK government advised that from the following day,
the allowable size of the single item of hand baggage on outgoing
flights from the UK would be increased to 56cm x 45cm x 25cm (ca. 22in
x 18in x 10in) , the IATA guideline size. |
