Airline Bag Allowances

Going on holiday, or you've got a shooting assignment in a far flung country, can often come with it’s own perils.

One of the major issues is the size allowances given by airlines for what they would consider to be a suitable sized bag to go in to the cabin.

This is, of course, assuming that you don't put your camera equipment in the main luggage area.

To make things even more confusing, there is no standard size that all the airlines agree on. The size allowance for Ryanair is different to Easyjet, which is different again to Flybe…

Whilst these allowances are changing every so often, we’ve made this list for the more popular airlines and their luggage dimensions for standard passengers

• BA: 56 x 45 x 25cm
