What cabin luggage sizes do airlines allow?
55 × 40 × 20 cm (standard) – accepted by Lufthansa, Eurowings, KLM, Air France, and many charter airlines
55 × 40 × 23 cm – slightly larger standard size with Condor and Swiss
40 × 30 × 20 cm – small cabin bag (underseater) for Ryanair, Wizz Air, easyJet (free of charge)

Hard-shell suitcase or soft luggage as cabin luggage?
Both materials have their advantages. Hard-shell suitcases made of polycarbonate or ABS are robust, waterproof and protect sensitive contents – ideal for electronics, cosmetics and fragile souvenirs. Soft luggage made of nylon or polyester is lighter, squeezes more easily into full overhead lockers, and often has outer pockets for quick access to your tablet, passport or boarding pass.
What matters when choosing a cabin luggage suitcase?
Exact dimensions – check outer dimensions including wheels and handle, not just the body measurements
4 wheels (spinner) or 2 wheels – spinners are more manoeuvrable at the airport, while 2 wheels hold up better on cobblestones
Expansion function – an expandable gusset adds 3-5 cm of extra volume for the return journey; be careful with strict airlines
TSA lock – built-in combination lock for inspection on US trips without a broken lock
Empty weight – under 2.5 kg is good, under 2 kg is very good for strict weight limits
USB charging port – some models offer an external USB port for charging on the go
Cabin luggage sizes and their use
Underseater (40 × 30 × 20 cm) – fits under the seat in front, ideal for short trips and as free cabin luggage with budget airlines. Standard 55 × 40 × 20 cm – the classic cabin luggage for 1-2-week trips, fits in every overhead locker. Large cabin luggage – more storage space, but be careful: many airlines charge extra for it.
Lufthansa's standard allowance is one piece of cabin luggage measuring 55 × 40 × 23 cm and weighing up to 8 kg in Economy. In Light fares, the cabin luggage piece is not included on some routes. Current figures can be found in the Lufthansa fare calculator for your booking class.
What are the dimensions for Ryanair cabin luggage?
Ryanair allows one small bag measuring 40 × 30 × 20 cm free of charge, which fits under the seat in front. The larger cabin bag measuring 55 × 40 × 20 cm is only available with Priority Boarding or for an extra fee.
Hard shell or soft luggage as cabin luggage?
Hard-shell suitcases protect sensitive contents better and are waterproof. Soft luggage is lighter, has outer pockets for your tablet and passport, and squeezes more easily into full overhead lockers. For electronics and cosmetics, a hard shell is recommended; for mixed contents and quick access, soft luggage is better.
How much may cabin luggage weigh?
Most airlines allow 8-10 kg of cabin luggage. Lufthansa, KLM and Air France: 8 kg. Eurowings: 8 kg. Ryanair: 10 kg (large cabin luggage with Priority). With budget airlines, weight is rarely checked, but the size is strictly enforced.
Are 4 wheels better than 2 wheels?
4-wheel spinners are easier to manoeuvre at the airport and can be pushed along beside you. 2 wheels are more robust on cobblestones and require less maintenance. 4 wheels are common for business travel, while 2 wheels are more practical for backpacking-style trips.
Is a laptop allowed in cabin luggage?
Yes, laptops are allowed in cabin luggage and must be taken out of the bag at security checks. In some countries, security checks also require tablets and larger power banks to go through the X-ray machine separately. Power banks over 100 Wh are not permitted.
