What carry-on size fits every airline?

50 x 35 x 20 cm (19.7 x 13.8 x 7.9 in) fits the overhead carry-on limit at every airline on this page. Qatar Airways sets the shortest length, Air France and KLM the narrowest width, and Korean Air and Vueling the thinnest depth. Many Asian and Gulf airlines also cap the bag at 7 kg (15 lb), and Air China at 5 kg in economy.

How to measure your carry-on

3 measurements decide whether your bag fits, and Delta, American, United, Southwest and British Airways count wheels and handles in each one. Measure the bag packed, with the handle folded down. Take the length from the base of the wheels to the top of the handle, then the width and depth at the widest points, including side pockets.
