British Airways Carry On 2023 - Cabin Bag Size & Weight Limit

All British Airways passengers may bring into the cabin 1 Cabin Bag and 1 Personal Bag as part of their carry-on allowance. (This does not apply to infants under 2 years old on a parent's lap, which are allowed 1 Cabin Bag with flight-essential items.)

Please note the reduced size limit of the Personal Item for 2023. [AMZ asins='B00LB7REFK,B082K8ZNQ1,B07ZWLQF9T,B00NW62PCA']

Maximum dimensions for the carry-on bags are as follows:

Cabin Bag / Hand Luggage
Up to 56 x 45 x 25 cm (22 x 18 x 10 in) including handles, pockets and wheels.

Personal Bag / Personal Item
Up to 40 x 30 x 15 cm (16 x 12 x 6 in) including handles, pockets and wheels.

A 23kg (51lb) weight limit applies to all hand baggage and you must be able to lift the bag yourself into the overhead locker.

You could be asked at the boarding gate to check some or all of your hand baggage into the hold, because there might not be enough room to stow all hand luggage safely in the cabin. You won't be charged for additional luggage if the bag fits within your hand luggage allowance.
