Carry On Luggage - How much is allowed?


In the past few years the rules have changed about how much luggage
you can take onto a flight and how much it will cost you. Gone are the days of
throwing all your things into a suitcase and checking it in as baggage without
a second thought. Airlines now either charge for all checked-in baggage or they
set you an impossible limit (average of about 20 kg) and then charge you exorbitant
prices for every kilo extra.
This has led to travelers putting more attention on cabin luggage
or carry-on luggage as it is free! That’s right if you can stuff everything
into your hand luggage you can save on your flight by not having to pay for
luggage in the hold.
This leads to another dilemma – what constitutes hand luggage? Are
all airline policies about carry-on luggage the same? Is it the size that
counts or the weight? In other words whether it is your first trip or if you
are a seasoned traveler you will find this site extremely useful and it will
probably save you a lot of time and money.
Kabinvaskor.se's site Carry On Luggage supplies the following information:
· You can choose to see the dimensions and weight in metric or pounds and inches.
· Every airline is listed with its carry-on luggage policy specifications, both dimensions and
weight.
· Once you have found out what kind of bag you need for the airline you are using the site also has a link to where you can buy bags with those specifications.
· There are airline updates if the rules change.
· There are several useful links from this site to information like: Passenger rights and airport
check-in rules
The most useful and original feature of this site is the "Test Button" where you can type in your bag's dimensions and instantly be told "which airlines will accept your carry-on bag".
This site is incredibly useful to travelers who want to take advantage of the fact that (at least at the moment) airlines don't charge for carry-on luggage.
