The ceilings
Ten cabins, one number each.
Cabin allowances are published as a weight, a piece count and a frame. They are revised with fares and aircraft, so treat this table as the reading from October 2026 rather than a promise about your booking.

Each detail page lists every item on the counter as a share of that carrier's ceiling, so a 667 g pillow can be read against ten kilos as easily as against seven.
How the number is read
A published cabin allowance is a ceiling for everything that boards with the passenger, not for the bag alone. Where a carrier names a personal item, the item may ride inside the same weight or beside it, and the difference is the whole argument at a gate.
The frame is a separate test. A bag can sit under the ceiling and still fail the sizer, which is why the three dimensions are printed next to the weight in this table rather than left to the booking page.
Figures came from the airlines' own baggage pages in October 2026. Codeshares, partner fares and promotional bundles can carry their own conditions, and the booking always outranks a table.
