Shop Cabin-Approved Luggage by Airline

We make it easy to shop hand luggage that’s guaranteed to meet your airline’s rules. Use our Airline Filter to find cabin-sized luggage that’s 100% compatible with:

  • Ryanair Priority cabin bags (55 x 40 x 20 cm)
  • easyJet Plus hand luggage (56 x 45 x 25 cm)

Why Airline Luggage Rules Matter

Airlines are stricter than ever with cabin bag sizes. Bags just a few centimetres too large can result in unexpected fees at the gate — or worse, having to check your bag last-minute. Whether you're flying short haul with Ryanair or long haul with Emirates, choosing the right size hand luggage saves time, money and hassle.
