Finnair cabin bag size
Everything you can bring on board Finnair — sizes, weight and cost.
Finnair cabin baggage explained
Finnair’s catch is the weight rule: on Economy fares above Superlight you may bring a cabin bag and a personal item, but the 8 kg limit is combined across both pieces, not applied to each one separately.
What your fare changes
The 40 × 30 × 15 cm personal item is included on all fares. Economy fares above Superlight add the 55 × 40 × 23 cm cabin bag, with a combined weight of both pieces up to 8 kg. Superlight is the hand-baggage-restricted fare, so confirm it before relying on a cabin bag.
What to check before you fly
Weigh the cabin bag and the personal item together — the 8 kg ceiling covers the pair, so two individually light bags can still be over. Superlight may not include the cabin bag at all. Wheels and handles count toward the size box.
Full baggage allowance
| Allowance | Max size | Weight | Fare | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Personal item / under-seat | 40 × 30 × 15 cm 15.7 × 11.8 × 5.9 in | — | All fares | Free |
Cabin bag / carry-on Combined cabin + personal item up to 8 kg. | 55 × 40 × 23 cm 21.7 × 15.7 × 9.1 in | 8 kg | Economy (not Superlight) | Free |
Finnair applies one combined 8 kg weight allowance across the cabin bag and the personal item, rather than a separate limit for each. Weigh both pieces together before travelling.
Worked bag-size example
Take an Economy cabin bag (weighed with the personal item) measuring 54 × 39 × 22 cm and weighing 7 kg. Compare it with the cabin-bag limit of 55 × 40 × 23 cm and 8 kg.
The smallest dimensional margin is 1 cm, so the bag is within the size limit. Its weight margin is 1 kg.
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.
