Check Emirates's baggage rules

A planning guide from each airline's published economy limits. Allowances change and vary by route, fare, and status, so confirm with the airline before you fly.

How it works

From tape measure to gate

Three numbers and an airline tell you whether your bag flies in the cabin.

  1. 1

    Measure your bag

    Enter length, width, and height, including wheels and handles. Load a common bag shape to start.

  2. 2

    Set the airline

    Pick who you are flying. We load their published economy cabin and personal-item limits.

  3. 3

    We rotate and compare

    We check your bag against the sizer in any orientation, so a bag turned on its side still counts.

  4. 4

    Read the verdict

    Fits the cabin, personal item only, or too big, plus a link to confirm on the airline's site.

Carry-on questions

About the size checker

Where the limits come from and how the fit is judged.

Yes. Airlines measure the whole bag, so enter the size with wheels, handles, and any external pockets. That is what a gate sizer checks.
