What's the largest Carry On Bag that you take take in the Cabin with you?

As you may be aware these days there is not a 'one size fits all' as far as Carry On Cabin Luggage is concerned.

While the IATA maximum has remained unchanged at 56x45x25cm for a while, many airlines, particularly the Budget Carriers have adopted smaller maximum sizes for the bag that you're allowed to take on board with you.

easyJet for the majority of 2015 had elected to use a size smaller than IATA, but for the last few months they have re-adopted the 46x45x25cm maximum size for their Cabin Bags. However in increasing the maximum size easyJet no longer guarantee that your Carry On Bag will travel with you in the cabin if the flight is particularly busy.

By contrast Low Cost Airline Ryanair works with a maximum size for Cabin Luggage of
55x40x20cm, much smaller than easyJet and many scheduled carriers such as British Airways.

It pays to be alert if you're using more than one airline for your trip - always plan your Cabin Baggage on the basis of the smallest maximum size.   Luggage UK have produced a helpful Guide to Carry on Cabin Luggage with links to the websites of the major airlines to help you identify your Cabin Luggage requirements.  Order from us before 3pm on a weekday and as well as enjoying our Low Prices, deliveries are made next working day to most UK destinations without any extra charge.

Have some advice on buying Carry On Cabin Luggage

With many of us taking short trips the demand for Carry On Cabin Suitcases has never been higher.  Travelling just with Hand Luggage not only saves time at the airport, but can also avoid the Checked In Luggage charges levied by many airlines.

However beware! Many airlines to do not follow the standard IATA maximum Cabin Luggage Size of 56x45x25cm and set lower limits, and there was a failed attempt earlier this year to reduce the IATA maximum as well!
