Cabin bag sizes compared

The personal item and the cabin bag of every airline we cover, side by side, straight from each operator's own page.

This table is built from the same data as the bag checker, so the two can never disagree. Measurements are shown as each operator publishes them, in cm. Weight is per bag unless it says otherwise.

Cabin bag included in the fare we checked: British Airways, Iberia, Jet2, TAP Air Portugal.

Operators that publish a rule, not measurements

These operators describe what you can bring instead of publishing a size. Their rules are on their own pages, quoted in their own words.

An empty field on this page means the operator doesn't publish that figure. It never means there is no limit.

Meeting a published limit is not a promise that staff will accept your bag at the gate. At least one operator states that paying at the gate does not guarantee a bag over the limit will be carried.

Check your own bag against every operator
