Regulations on the size of hand luggage and checked baggage when traveling by plane

1 Difference between hand baggage and checked baggage

Any airline in the world has strict rules and procedures for checking baggage. To ensure flight safety for passengers and crew before possible aviation incidents.

Luggage

Hand luggage, also known as carry-on-bag, is a type of luggage that passengers are allowed to bring directly into the cabin of an aircraft , these are often necessary items to serve personal needs.

Many airlines stipulate that passengers can only bring one piece of luggage and cannot bring prohibited goods. According to regulations, the size of hand luggage is the length, width, and height which must not exceed 115cm . That is, you can bring a suitcase 56cm x 36cm x 23cm or other sizes that do not exceed this number.

Once it's been rigorously screened, you'll feel free to enter the boarding lounge and place your luggage in the overhead locker. And when the plane finally lands, you don't have to wait for it to be picked up like checked baggage.

Signed luggage

If your goods are too much and cannot be carried on board, then you must use a consignment service. Checked baggage, also known as check-in bag, is a type of luggage that you must carefully pack and not bring with you.

These are often bulky and heavy utensils and goods. After completing the procedures at the airport, the goods you checked in will be put into the aircraft's own luggage compartment.

Each airline will have different regulations on this issue. However, most of you will have to pay a fee depending on the weight and size of your checked baggage. However, those things must also comply with the strict regulations of the airlines so as not to make mistakes.

Checked baggage will be stamped with an identification code. It will also be on the same flight as you, and when you get off the plane, you will have to wait to pick it up and go through customs as required.
