Measure your bag after packing

Check the bag you will actually carry, fully packed, against the baggage allowance attached to your particular journey and ticket.

1. Open the operating carrier's current baggage guidance and your booking. Note the permitted bag count, size and weight for every segment, including any separately booked connection.
2. Close the bag as you will carry it. Measure its outer height, width and depth, including protruding pockets, wheels and handles, then compare using the carrier's stated measuring method.
3. Weigh the packed bag and each additional item separately. If anything exceeds an allowance, remove items or confirm a suitable baggage option before leaving; do not rely on squeezing the case at boarding.

Repeat the check after adding last-minute items. A product label or an empty bag's dimensions cannot describe your final packed load.
