A common sized bag for carry-on luggage is 22"x 14"x 9". Most airlines have a carry-on weight limit of 40 pounds. International airlines may have different restrictions for carry-on luggage. Again, it is always best to check with your airline first to get their exact requirements.

As of 2026, standard baggage weight limits are strictly enforced across global carriers. For carry-on (cabin) luggage, most airlines maintain a limit of 7 kg (15 lbs) for Economy class, though some premium international carriers may allow up to 10 kg. Dimensions generally must not exceed 55 x 40 x 20 cm. For checked baggage, the standard allowance for domestic and short-haul flights is typically 15 kg to 23 kg (33 to 50 lbs) per person. On long-haul international routes, Economy passengers often get 23 kg, while Business and First Class travelers frequently enjoy higher limits of 32 kg (70 lbs) per bag. It is vital to note that 32 kg is the absolute safety limit for a single piece of luggage due to occupational health and safety regulations for baggage handlers; anything heavier is usually classified as cargo. Always check your specific fare type, as "Basic" or "Light" fares may not include any checked baggage allowance at all.
