Airline Size Allowances For Check-In Luggage
Before you leave for your next trip, make sure your suitcase complies with your airline's check-in luggage size restrictions. Since almost all airlines have slightly different measurement allowances, here’s a guide so you have all the information you need. But most importantly: both our Check-In Luggage models comply with all the airlines listed below.
| Airline | Height (cm) | Width (cm) | Depth (cm) | Weight Limit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| British Airways | 90 | 75 | 43 | 23 kg |
| Norwegian | 250 | 79 | 112 | 23 kg (Standard) |
| Ryanair | 81 | 119 | 119 | 10/20 kg |
| Wizz Air | 149 | 119 | 171 | 10/20/32 kg |
These airlines do not have specific height, width, or depth restrictions for your suitcase. The rule here is that the total added size of your luggage (Width + Depth + Height) cannot exceed these dimensions. You can find the total size by adding the length, width, and depth together.

|---|---|---|
| Aeroflot | 203 cm | 23 kg |
| Air France | 158 cm | 23 kg |
| Cathay Pacific | 158 cm (Piece Concept) | 23 kg |
| EasyJet | 275 cm | 15/23/26/32 kg |
