Size and weight limits of baggage

Carry on luggage often complements the main luggage, which is placed in the luggage compartment. It contains personal items needed for the duration of the flight or travel, and its luggage size and weight limits are often limited by airline or mode of transport regulations.

By storing important personal items in carry-on luggage, travelers can avoid loss or damage if their main luggage is lost or delayed. With essentials on hand, travelers can meet their immediate needs while flying or otherwise traveling.

An important point is to follow the recommendations and list of rules for the permissible luggage size and weight limits, that is, the total size of luggage on the plane. The carry on luggage size may vary depending on the mode of transport.

Sizes allowed for airline baggage may vary depending on the airline and the type of baggage (carry-on or check-in baggage). However, there are generally accepted standards that are often applied.
