With precise dimensions, IATA standards, and men's and women's models, you'll be able to buy your travel bag with confidence, save time at the airport, and travel in style.

I. The Golden Rule: Mastering Cabin Dimensions

A. IATA Standards and the Mandatory 55 x 35 x 25 cm Reference

The most commonly accepted standard for a cabin travel bag is defined by the IATA (International Air Transport Association) .
👉 The maximum recommended dimensions are 55 x 35 x 25 cm , including handles and pockets.

This size allows you to place your bag in the overhead compartments of most traditional airlines. At MonSacParis , our cabin bags are selected to meet these international standards , while remaining practical and stylish.

⚠️ Beware of low-cost airlines

Ryanair, EasyJet or Wizz Air often apply stricter rules, with free baggage limited to a pocket size under the seat (approximately 40 x 20 x 25 cm).

👉 Our expert advice: always opt for a soft-sided travel bag like the Roma bag , the Paris bag , or the Enzo backpack . The latter is the best choice if you're a backpack enthusiast. , much more tolerated during checks, especially if you often travel on low-cost airlines.
