Cabin Luggage Rules 2025: What Airlines Allow & How to Pack Smartly
✈️ Air Travel in 2025 Has a New Rulebook
With Indian airlines like Air India and AirAsia India now enforcing strict one-cabin-bag policies, travelers are rethinking how and what to pack. Whether you're off on a quick business trip, monsoon getaway, or a destination wedding, this guide helps you choose the right cabin bag and pack it smartly.
📏 Cabin Luggage Guidelines & Dimensions (India 2025)
Most airlines in India now allow only one cabin bag per passenger. Here’s what’s standard:
- Size Limit: 55 x 40 x 20 cm (Air India, AirAsia, IndiGo, etc.)
