FAQ
What is the best cabin bag size for this group?+
A bag no larger than 35 × 30 × 18 cm (13.8 × 11.8 × 7.1 in), up to 5 kg fits the cabin bag allowance on all 151 airlines in this group — the limit is set by TAROM.
Why not just buy the biggest bag?+
Because the strictest airline in the group wins. A bag that fits TAROM fits everyone here; a larger one would be rejected or charged there. Buy for the tightest limit and you’re safe on all.
Should I leave a safety margin?+
Yes — measure with wheels and handles, and pick a bag a touch under the limit. A packed bag bulges, and low-cost airlines measure strictly at the gate.
