Which limit should you check?

If your ticket is Economy Basic on a short- or medium-haul flight, test your packed bag against 40 × 30 × 15 cm. For eligible short/medium-haul Economy fares and long-haul Economy, also check the 55 × 40 × 23 cm / 8 kg carry-on. For codeshares, SWISS says the operating carrier's rules apply to each flight.
