Choose a cabin bag compatible with its airline

Start with the baggage allowance included in your fare

The same flight may include only small baggage under the seat or allow additional cabin baggage. The type of rate and the reserved options therefore change the correct format.

Do not choose a bag from its volume alone: the external dimensions, handles and pockets included, are the controlled criterion.

Control each company and rate

With several flights, raise the limits for each piece of baggage on each ticket. A rule known to go does not confirm the rule of return.

• Ryanair: check the small luggage included and any additional option.
• easyJet: distinguish between the small and large cabin bag included in your fare.
• Transavia: check the parts included and the options actually reserved.
• Air France : check the booking and the conditions of the flight operated.

Bag or suitcase: choose the format that serves your journey

A soft bag is often easier to wear and slide under a seat when it is not overloaded. A suitcase keeps its shape better but does not compress in a template.

The right choice depends on the carrying, the declared dimensions and your excess, not a general preference for the bag or suitcase.

Check before departure

Measure and weigh your luggage when ready. The rules of the company and the ticket are always valid at the time of travel.
