Airport Parking and Hotels

Hand Luggage Allowances

With all the changes in security rules in recent months it is hard to keep up with current hand luggage allowances at each airport let alone each airline. The comparison table below shows hand baggage allowances for each airline by airport.

We've also collated the specifics of hand luggage weight and dimensions restrictions applied by each airline too to help Airport Parking & Hotels customers to "know before you go".

The good news is that all airlines that we checked allow at least one piece of standard-sized luggage, though the "standard" size does vary to some degree.
