Alaska Airlines cabin bag size
Everything you can bring on board Alaska Airlines — sizes, weight and cost.
Alaska Airlines cabin baggage explained
Alaska Airlines uses the standard US carry-on setup: a 56 × 36 × 23 cm bag for the overhead bin plus a personal item, both included on every fare — including the cheapest Saver ticket.
What your fare changes
All Alaska fares, Saver included, come with the 56 × 36 × 23 cm (about 22 × 14 × 9 in) carry-on and a 43 × 33 × 20 cm personal item. Unlike US basic-economy fares that strip the carry-on, Alaska keeps the overhead bag on its cheapest ticket.
What to check before you fly
Alaska does not publish a cabin-bag weight limit, so the sizer and bin space are the real constraints — you must lift the bag in unaided. On smaller regional jets the bag may be valet-tagged at the gate. Measure with wheels and handles included.
Full baggage allowance
| Allowance | Max size | Weight | Fare | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Personal item / under-seat | 43 × 33 × 20 cm 16.9 × 13 × 7.9 in | — | All fares | Free |
Cabin bag / carry-on ≈ 22 × 14 × 9 in. | 56 × 36 × 23 cm 22 × 14.2 × 9.1 in | — | All fares | Free |
Worked bag-size example
Take a US-standard carry-on measuring 55 × 35 × 22 cm. Compare it with the cabin-bag limit of 56 × 36 × 23 cm.
The smallest dimensional margin is 1 cm, so the bag is within the size limit.
We compare the three outside edges after orientation, including protruding parts. A result with less than 0.5 cm of clearance is marked tight because measuring and packing can change the real size.
