Choose the right next check

Common underseat size

40 × 30 × 20 cm

See exactly which of the 13 airlines accept this size as a small item and where it needs a larger cabin allowance.

Conservative baseline

40 × 30 × 15 cm

Compare this smaller personal-item target across all 13 carriers and note the fare-dependent overhead options.

Mixed itinerary

One bag, several airlines

Enter the bag once and identify the flight leg that creates the strictest limit for your actual trip.

Exact fare check

Check your packed bag

Use your dimensions, weight, airline and fare instead of relying on a generic chart alone.

Do not read this as “every trolley is free”. Ryanair, Wizz Air, Vueling, Lufthansa, KLM, Air France and Eurowings all have fare or add-on distinctions that affect the larger cabin bag. Use the checker with the exact option you booked.

Codeshares and future flights

Use the operating carrier's rules, not only the marketing carrier shown on the ticket. Recheck the official source before departure because baggage policies can change.

One practical baseline

40 × 30 × 15 cm now fits the published personal-item dimensions of all 13 carriers in this chart. That still does not make every overhead trolley free: SWISS, Lufthansa, KLM, Air France and several low-cost carriers vary the larger cabin-bag entitlement by fare or route.
