The tables below show every airline's published carry-on weight limit, organized by region. Select any airline to see the full baggage policy, including personal item rules, fees, and gate-check risk.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find my airline's carry-on rules?
Use the airline picker in the widget above, filter the full list below by name, or scroll all 80 carriers. Each airline page lists carry-on dimensions in inches and centimeters, weight limits, personal item rules, fees, and the verification date for the data. If you have a specific bag and want to compare it across every airline at once, use the bag fit checker between the widget and the airline list.
Which airlines are included?
The checker covers 80 airlines worldwide, including major carriers, budget airlines, and regional operators across North America, Europe, Asia, and beyond. Each entry is sourced from the airline's official baggage policy page and cross-referenced against secondary travel sources.
How often is airline baggage data updated?
Every entry is sourced from the airline's own published baggage policy and cross-referenced against secondary travel sources. We review and update data regularly, but airlines can change rules at any time, so always double-check with your carrier before flying, especially for Basic Economy fares.
Is this data guaranteed accurate?
No tool can guarantee real-time accuracy of every airline's policy. Each entry is sourced from the airline's published baggage page and cross-referenced against secondary sources, with the verification date and source link on every airline page. Policies change without notice, and gate agents have discretion. This tool is for reference only and is not a substitute for the airline's own published policy. Always confirm directly with your airline before flying, especially for Basic Economy fares or international routes.
Do US airlines weigh carry-on bags?
Most US legacy carriers, including Delta, American, United, Southwest, Alaska, and JetBlue, do not publish or enforce carry-on weight limits. The practical rule is that you must be able to lift the bag into the overhead bin without help. However, some US carriers like Hawaiian Airlines (25 lb), Breeze Airways (35 lb), Frontier Airlines (35 lb), and Sun Country Airlines (35 lb) do publish specific weight limits.
What is the strictest carry-on weight limit?
Several airlines enforce a 7 kg (about 15 lb) carry-on weight limit, including Emirates, Qatar Airways, Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Qantas, Virgin Australia, Air New Zealand, Jetstar, AirAsia, and Thai Airways. On the other end, British Airways is the most generous major carrier at 23 kg (51 lb).
What happens if my carry-on bag is overweight?
If your carry-on exceeds the airline's weight limit, you will typically be asked to check the bag at the gate. Most airlines charge a gate-check fee, which is often more expensive than pre-paying for a checked bag online. Some airlines allow you to redistribute items to your personal item before re-weighing.
Does my personal item count toward the carry-on weight limit?
No. Carry-on weight limits apply only to the overhead bin bag. Your personal item (purse, laptop bag, or small backpack) is separate and most airlines do not publish a specific weight limit for personal items.
