Airline hand luggage rules can be some of the most confusing out there. With dozens of airlines, you’d think there would be a standard size, but all of them seem to have different guidelines.
For 16 airlines flying from Newcastle Airport, from the budget easyJet, Jet2 and Ryanair, to the more uncommon Eastern Airlines, SunExpress and Corendon Airlines, each have different rules. For many though, the amount of luggage you can haul to your seat depends on the ticket you buy.
Priority seats, which often come with early boarding, seat reservations and more legroom, also come with more luggage. But whether you’re permitted a cabin bag, a handbag, a personal item or a wheelie case, sometimes it can be tricky to tell the difference.
