Measure correctly

How to measure your cabin bag

  1. Height: Measure from the floor to the highest point of the bag, including wheels and fixed handles.
  2. Width: Measure the widest point from side to side.
  3. Depth: Measure from front to back, including when an expandable bag is expanded.
Avoid extra fees

Check more than the dimensions

Your bag must stay within both the size and weight limits. A fare may include a small bag but not a cabin bag for the overhead locker.

  • Read the conditions for your specific fare.
  • Weigh the bag when fully packed.
  • Leave a little margin for handles, wheels and filled outer pockets.
Questions and answers

Frequently asked questions about cabin bag dimensions

What are the dimensions of a typical cabin bag?

55 × 40 × 23 cm is a common maximum size, but there is no single standard across all airlines. Always check the airline you are flying with.

Is 55 × 40 × 23 cm accepted by every airline?

No. Some airlines allow larger dimensions, while others permit less depth or width. The lowest fare may include only a small under-seat bag.

Do wheels and handles count in the dimensions?

Yes. Airlines normally measure the full external dimensions, including wheels, fixed handles and any protruding parts.

What is the difference between a cabin bag and a personal item?

A cabin bag normally goes in the overhead locker. A personal item must be smaller and fit under the seat in front of you.

What happens if my cabin bag is too large or heavy?

The airline may require it to be checked and charge a fee. The price is often higher at the gate than when booked in advance.

How often do airlines change their baggage rules?

Rules and fare conditions can change without notice. Use the table for quick comparison, then check the airline’s official website and your booking before departure.

Carry-on luggage

Are you going on a short vacation or do you often travel for work? Then it might be a good idea to invest in a good and stylish carry-on luggage, where you can store your hand luggage. The carry-on luggage can also serve as an excellent complement to the larger checked baggage, and you can store your most personal and valuable belongings that you would rather keep with you in the cabin during your trip.

At Vajper.com, you will find a very large selection of carry-on luggage in different designs and sizes from market-leading brands such as Samsonite, Hartmann, American Tourister, Epic, Titan, and Antler. You can find carry-on luggage in different price ranges, but the common denominator is that you get high quality for every price tag. The choices are many, and you can freely choose based on your specific needs. Are you looking for a carry-on luggage with two wheels or four? Do you prefer a hard or soft carry-on luggage? Here, you can go through the assortment at your leisure and adjust the filters based on your preferences. When you have found a bag that suits you, you can easily have it delivered to your home. After examining and trying out the bag, you can return it at no extra cost if it does not meet your expectations. Remember, a good travel bag will accompany you for many years in life.

Should I choose a hard or soft carry-on luggage?

If you are only traveling with clothes and other non-fragile items, we usually recommend a soft carry-on luggage for the simple reason that it is often a bit more flexible and easier to travel with. However, if you have valuable electronics or other fragile items with you, it may be good to have a hard carry-on luggage, which provides better protection.

Different price ranges for carry-on luggage

As you can see, we have a variety of prices for different carry-on luggage here at Vajper.com. The material and weight of the bag often determine the price. A rule of thumb is that the lighter the bag is, the more expensive it is often. Safety components such as TSA locks and conveniences such as double wheels can also play a role in the price of carry-on luggage.
