Are the bag dimensions on CabinReady guaranteed to be correct?

- No — and we want to be upfront about that. Bag dimensions shown on CabinReady are sourced from product listings on Amazon UK. While we cross-reference these against each airline's published size limits, we do not physically measure products ourselves. Amazon listing data can occasionally be inaccurate or out of date. We always recommend checking the product dimensions on Amazon before purchasing and confirming your airline's current rules on their official website before you travel. Links to each airline's baggage page are provided throughout the site.

Question 23

Will my cabin bag definitely be accepted at the gate?

Accepted Answer

- We cross-reference every bag against the dimensions published on each airline's official website — the same page their gate staff check. While we cannot guarantee individual gate staff decisions, buying a bag within the airline's stated limits gives you the strongest possible case. We link directly to each airline's official baggage page so you can confirm yourself before you travel.

Question 24

Can I avoid paying extra baggage fees?

Accepted Answer

- Yes — choosing the right cabin bag means you can travel with everything you need without paying for hold luggage. Our size filters help you find the largest bag your airline allows, maximising your packing space within the free allowance.

Question 25

What does "Maximum Allowed" mean in the size filter?

Accepted Answer

- It means the bag's dimensions are within 1cm of the airline's stated maximum — the largest bag that airline accepts. "Compact" means the bag fits comfortably under the limit with room to spare, giving extra peace of mind at the gate.
