How we counted

A bag fits when it is within the airline's length, width and depth (we compare the longest side with the longest limit, and so on) and within the 3-side total, when the airline gives one. Weight is not counted. 6 airlines give no size number on the page we read, so they are left out.

47 airlines also give a size for the personal item. Open the row to see it.

The most common length, width and depth limits are 56×36×23 cm (23 airlines) and 55×40×20 cm (21), and 35 airlines set a total of 115 cm. A 55×40×25 cm case is 120 cm in total, so it is over the limit on most of them. To check your own bag against every airline, use the bag checker on the airline list.
