Frequently Asked Questions 2025
What is the baggage limit for 2025?
The carry-on limit is 22 x 15 x 8 (55 x 38 x 20) including wheels and handles, with a maximum weight of 7 kg. These dimensions apply to all cabin classes and must fit in the overhead compartment.
Does policy varies by cabin class?
No, the cabin baggage dimensions remain the same across all classes at 55 x 38 x 20. However, business and first class passengers receive additional personal item allowances beyond the standard limit. The policy is consistent regardless of fare type.
Can I bring a personal item in addition to baggage allowance?
Yes, you can bring a personal item in addition to your main cabin bag. It must fit under the seat in front of you and is separate from the overhead bin allowance. Common items include laptop bags, handbags, or small backpacks that don't exceed typical dimensions.
How strictly does Emirates enforce carry on size limits?
The airline moderately enforces these limits, especially at major hubs like Dubai. Gate agents may use sizing bins to verify compliance, and bags exceeding the specifications will be gate-checked. We recommend staying within the dimensions of 55 x 38 x 20 to avoid delays.
Are wheels and handles included in size measurements?
Yes, wheels and handles are included in the measurements. When measuring your bag against the limit of 55 x 38 x 20, you must include all protruding parts. This is standard practice to ensure bags fit properly in overhead compartments.
What happens if my bag exceeds baggage limits?
If your bag exceeds the specified limits, it will be gate-checked with potential fees. Policy violations typically result in the bag being placed in the cargo hold, and you may be charged excess baggage fees. It's best to ensure your bag meets requirements before arriving at the airport.
Does policy includes weight restrictions?
Yes, the policy includes a weight limit of 7 kg in addition to dimensional restrictions. Both the dimensions of 55 x 38 x 20 and the weight limit must be met for compliance. Enforcement includes both size and weight checks.
What items are prohibited in baggage allowance?
Items prohibited in your cabin baggage include liquids over 100ml, sharp objects, flammable materials, and electronics larger than laptops. Power banks must be under 100Wh and lithium batteries have specific restrictions. Always check the airline's prohibited items list when packing within your allowance.
