Which cabin luggage trolley fits which airline? Suitable models 2026

Last updated: 25 August 2026 · Airline rules sourced from our continuously updated airline guides (check date per airline in the table), product dimensions including wheels and handles as stated by the manufacturer, prices "from" and availability as of the date shown.

The "55 × 40 × 23 cm" size is the standard among the major network airlines – but far from universal. Ryanair and TUI fly require a depth of just 20 cm, KLM a narrower width of 35 cm, while easyJet is more generous at 56 × 45 × 25 cm but only includes the large cabin bag for free on certain fares. We've checked every available cabin trolley's manufacturer dimensions against current airline rules. Below you'll find the lightest suitable models for each airline.

Airline hand luggage size limits at a glance

The small bag (personal item) is included on every fare across all nine airlines: 40 × 30 × 15 cm for Lufthansa, Condor, Austrian and KLM, 40 × 30 × 25 cm for Eurowings, 40 × 30 × 20 cm for Ryanair and TUI fly, 45 × 36 × 20 cm for easyJet, and 40 × 30 × 15 cm for Turkish Airlines.

Lufthansa, Eurowings, Condor, Austrian, Turkish Airlines: 55 × 40 × 23 cm

The standard size. 69 of our available cabin trolley ranges fit – including every model from the Ryanair table further down. If you want to make the most of the full 23 cm depth (more volume at the same height), here are the five lightest trolleys with more than 20 cm depth:

With an 8 kg weight limit, that leaves around 6 kg for your packing. See the full range: Hand Luggage Suitcases.

Ryanair and TUI fly: 55 × 40 × 20 cm

Three centimetres less depth – which rules out many standard trolleys. 48 ranges still fit; here are the five lightest:

With Ryanair, the large cabin bag is only included with "Priority & 2 Cabin Bags" or on the Regular and Flexi Plus fares; with TUI fly it's always a chargeable add-on. If you'd rather stick to the free small bag allowance, suitable models are listed further down.

KLM: 55 × 35 × 25 cm

KLM is the special case: 35 cm width instead of 40. Only 13 ranges meet this requirement; the five lightest:

Important for KLM: in Economy, the large and small items combined must not exceed 12 kg.

easyJet: 56 × 45 × 25 cm (large cabin bag)

The most generous size allowance – 75 ranges fit, covering practically every 55 cm trolley from the tables above. However, the large cabin bag is only free with easyJet Plus, on the FLEXI fare, or with an Up-Front/Extra-Legroom seat; otherwise only the small bag at 45 × 36 × 20 cm applies.

Worth knowing for easyJet frequent flyers: these 9 ranges exceed 55 × 40 × 23 cm and are only accepted as cabin baggage by easyJet – the lightest of these:

One suitcase for all nine airlines: maximum 55 × 35 × 20 cm

If you fly with a range of different airlines, you need the lowest common denominator: 55 cm high, 35 cm wide, 20 cm deep. Currently only 5 available ranges meet this requirement:

Almost everywhere (all airlines except KLM), any trolley up to 55 × 40 × 20 cm from the Ryanair table above will fit.

Free on every fare: trolleys and bags for the small bag allowance

Ryanair (40 × 30 × 20 cm): There are trolleys for this size too – as well as bags cut to the exact dimensions:

easyJet (45 × 36 × 20 cm): A bit more room, so these also fit:

For the personal item allowance on Lufthansa, Condor, Austrian and KLM (40 × 30 × 15 cm), we don't currently stock any trolley or bag with a depth of 15 cm or less – a slim laptop bag or a narrow backpack is the better choice here.

How we checked

• Airline rules taken from our individual airline guides, which we verify against the airlines' own websites (date shown per airline in the table).
• Product dimensions including wheels and handles as stated in the manufacturer data in our product listings; a model is considered a fit if height, width and depth all fall within the limit.
• Only in-stock models with multiple units available, one entry per range, sorted by empty weight.
• Tolerance: if you're right at the limit, avoid overpacking soft-shell trolleys, as they can bulge beyond the stated size.
