Choosing the right size
The following size guide will help you choose the right suitcase size based on the length of your trip and your personal packing needs. This way, you can quickly find out whether a compact carry-on suitcase is sufficient for a short trip or whether you’d be better off opting for a medium-sized or large model for longer journeys.
What are the maximum permitted dimensions?
The 158 cm rule sets the maximum permitted size for checked-in luggage on flights. This does not refer to a single edge length, but to the so-called circumference. This is calculated as the sum of the suitcase’s width, height and depth. In practical terms, this means: you measure your suitcase along its three external dimensions (including wheels and handles) and add these values together. The result must not usually exceed 158 cm for the suitcase to still be accepted as standard checked-in luggage. If this measurement is exceeded, the luggage may be classified as bulky luggage depending on the airline and incur additional charges.
