Hand Baggage

[jaxx1967]

Can anybody tell me what the allowances for hand-baggage are now? I have looked on my airline and they say that the dimensions can be no more than a total of 115cm, but I thought that there were definite sizes that had to be adhered to. Any ideas?

its supposed to be the size of a regular carrier bag.

We are travelling soon from Birmingham Airport and they have confirmed restrictions, as follows:-
Each passenger permitted to carry ONE item of cabin baggage.
Dimensions: length of 45 cm, width of 35 cm. and depth of 16 cm including wheels, handles, side pockets. A handbag will be classed as one item. THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS
Hope this helps. (Probably best to check with your Airport).

The restrictions are the same for all airports (and airlines). See here:
