Carry On Baggage - What A Mess
I was thinking about the number of carry on bags I have for different airlines. Where possible I travel with carry on baggage only.
I decided to create a spreadsheet of sizes and weights for a number of airlines. The data is current as of Wednesday 18th April 2012. There are 67 sets of data. Where available I have included data for each class.
All I can say is what a wide variation in allowed weights, sizes of bags and number of bags. How on Earth can anyone who travels often not have a minimum of about eight bags.
To summarise: -
Length (Cm) Width (Cm) Depth (Cm) Max. Weight (Kg)
Max 61 53 30 24
Min 40 25 18 5
Mean 54.8 38.3 23.0 11.2
I feel that airlines and aircraft manufacturers really should get together and come to a decision (e.g. small aircraft = size A; medium aircraft = Size B; Large Aircraft = Size C). I do realise that I generalise, but is there any reason for airlines with the same aircraft having different locker sizes?
