Sun Country cabin bag size
Everything you can bring on board Sun Country — sizes, weight and cost.
Sun Country cabin baggage explained
Sun Country is a hybrid low-cost carrier where only the personal item is free on every fare. The overhead carry-on — a generous 61 × 41 × 28 cm — is a paid add-on, whatever the fare you booked.
What your fare changes
Every fare includes the 43 × 33 × 23 cm personal item for free. A 61 × 41 × 28 cm carry-on for the overhead bin is a paid extra, and buying it during booking is cheaper than adding it at the airport or the gate.
What to check before you fly
There is no free carry-on on any Sun Country fare, so budget for the bag or pack into the roomy personal item. Because the personal item is fairly large at 43 × 33 × 23 cm, many short trips fit without paying. Gate prices are the highest.

Worked bag-size example
Take the free personal item measuring 42 × 32 × 22 cm. Compare it with the personal-item limit of 43 × 33 × 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.
