Hand luggage size Ryanair

Ryanair allows passengers to bring along only one small luggage piece, measuring up to 40 cm x 20 cm x 25 cm. Without priority, staff will charge you for putting your beloved suitcase into hold before boarding, so make sure to add "10kg Check-In" to your booking up until 40 minutes before takeoff, which is much cheaper.

Turkish Airlines carry-on baggage allowance

Turkish Airlines allows one piece of hand luggage sized up to 55 cm x 40 cm x 23 cm. In addition, you can bring another item, such as a backpack made for traveling.

Vueling airlines hand baggage allowance

Depending on the airline and the class you’re flying, there are different weight limits for your cabin luggage. Whilst two pieces of luggage at 8 kg are allowed in the cabins of most business classes, you would have to limit your belongings to only one piece weighing 8 kg in economy or economy plus. In very few cases, airlines would only allow 6 kg (Condor), while Emirates and Cathay Pacific limit combined luggage weight to 7 kg. On Ryanair, carry on luggage has to be below 10 kg, while Air France and KLM allow up to 12 kg. Only easyjet has no clear restrictions on the maximum weight of hand luggage. The absolute standard on Lufthansa and Eurowings flights, however, is always around 8 kg.
