Cabin baggage size (1 centimeter over) (page 5 of 5)

Even LH recommends putting your cabin baggage under the seat, so... 😉

Hello;

For cabin baggage, the issue isn’t the weight but the dimensions. A soft bag is more likely to exceed the size limit if it’s stuffed (as I often see), whereas a hard-shell suitcase isn’t. At some airports, you’ll suffer with your overloaded 12 kg soft bag because of the distances you have to cover—whether walking or running.😉

Stricter enforcement of cabin baggage dimensions is a necessity.

It’s true that denser planes and HBO fares don’t help solve the issue of cabin baggage space. But if only passengers could already fit their cabin bags under the seat.....

It rarely weighs 12 kg, though—that’s too much for me.

At one point, I had a wheeled thing, and dragging it hurt my back just as much, if not more—plus, it was heavy even when empty because it weighed more than my 200g soft bag.

For longer trips (e.g., 3 weeks in Russia last year), my partner helped carry it—gotta put a man to good use 😛

When the overhead bins are full, flight attendants come around and ask people to put small bags under the seat.

Hi,

I don’t find checks very frequent with this airline. Can anyone tell me if it’s the same with Air France? I also have a bag that’s slightly over the allowed dimensions…

Never seen any Air France checks on the Paris-Nice route, at least.

Hello,

I do a round-trip Paris-Marseille with Air France every week and I’ve never seen a single check. Maybe because the planes are rarely full...

Everything went smoothly for me, my cabin bag was allowed without any issues.
