International Airlines Size Restrictions
The carry on luggage size restrictions varies greatly from one airline carrier to another. Some airlines allow a mere 5kg/11lbs of luggage to be carried on board with their passengers, yet at the other end of the scale others are allowed a limit of up to 15kg/33lbs. Listed below are the carry-on limits of most of the major airlines in the world. Not that these limits can be subject to change at any time to the discretion of the airlines themselves.
