Which cabin luggage trolley fits which airline? Suitable models 2026

Last updated: 28 October 2026 · Airline rules from our continuously maintained airline guides (verification date per airline in the table), product dimensions including wheels and handles as stated by the manufacturer, availability as of the stated date.

The measurement "55 × 40 × 23 cm" is the standard with the major network airlines – but far from universal. Ryanair and TUI fly require a depth of 20 cm, KLM a narrower width of 35 cm, while easyJet is generous at 56 × 45 × 25 cm, though it only includes the large cabin bag free of charge in certain fares. We checked all available cabin trolleys with their manufacturer dimensions against the current airline rules. Here you'll find the lightest suitable models for each airline.

Airline hand luggage rules at a glance

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

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

The standard size. 69 of our available trolley/suitcase ranges fit – including all the models from the Ryanair table further down. If you want to make full use of the 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 limit, that leaves around 6 kg for the contents. The full list: cabin suitcases.

Ryanair and TUI fly: 55 × 40 × 20 cm

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

With Ryanair, the large cabin bag is only included with "Priority & 2 Cabin Bags" or in the Regular and Flexi Plus fares; with TUI fly, only from the Best fare upwards. If you prefer to rely on the free small bag only, you'll find suitable models 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 together must not exceed 12 kg.

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

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

Interesting for easyJet frequent flyers: these 9 ranges are larger than 55 × 40 × 23 cm and are only accepted as cabin baggage with easyJet – the lightest of them:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

How we checked

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