What is Norwegian's cabin bag (hand luggage) size?

CONFLICT NOT PUBLISHED

The overhead cabin bag can measure up to 55 x 40 x 23 cm, and it comes with LowFare+ and Flex tickets. All three ticket types include a small underseat bag of 30 x 40 x 20 cm. LowFare passengers who want the overhead bag can buy one online for 13.90 EUR on domestic flights or 15.90 to 29.90 EUR on international ones, per leg.

How big can the small underseat bag be on Norwegian?

Your underseat bag can be 30 x 40 x 20 cm, and every ticket includes one, LowFare too. It has to fit under the seat in front of you. On LowFare it is the whole hand baggage allowance, so Norwegian suggests packing medicine, baby items and valuables in it. You can also carry one airport shopping bag on any ticket.
