Understanding Airline Baggage Policies

European budget airlines have some of the strictest cabin baggage policies in the world. Ryanair, Wizz Air, and easyJet actively enforce size restrictions, especially at high-traffic airports like London Stansted, Dublin, and Milan Bergamo. Gate fees for oversized bags now regularly exceed £50–100.

TravelHub collects dimension data directly from airline policy pages and cross-references it with thousands of crowdsourced reports. Our strictness scores tell you how likely your bag is to be checked — not just what the policy says, but how it's actually enforced.

Always measure your bag including external pockets, wheels, and handles. When in doubt, choose a bag specifically designed and marketed for your airline.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are strictness scores calculated?

Strictness scores combine policy analysis and crowdsourced traveller reports. A score of 8–10 means the airline actively checks bags at the gate. Scores update as new reports are approved. See our methodology page for details.

Which airline has the strictest carry-on rules?

Ryanair consistently scores highest (9/10) based on traveller reports, particularly at London Stansted, Dublin, and Milan Bergamo. Wizz Air also scores 8/10 due to active enforcement at Eastern European hubs.

Does measuring include wheels and handles?

Yes. Airlines measure the total external dimensions including wheels, handles, and external pockets. When in doubt, measure your bag fully loaded including all protrusions.

How often is dimension data updated?

All dimension records are re-verified on a rolling schedule. The "Verified" date shown on each page indicates when that specific record was last checked against the airline's official policy page.
