What Are Edelweiss Cabin Baggage Rules?
Edelweiss applies clear limits on carry-on luggage depending on your travel class. This helps ensure space and comfort for all passengers.
Economy Class
- 1 cabin bag per passenger
- Maximum size: 55 x 40 x 23 cm
- Maximum weight: 8 kg
Business Class
- 2 cabin bags per passenger
- Each bag must follow the same limits: 55 x 40 x 23 cm and 8 kg
Our cabin luggage collection includes suitcases built exactly to these specifications, so you can board with confidence.
Personal Item Allowance
In addition to your cabin bag, Edelweiss allows one personal item per passenger. This must not exceed 40 x 30 x 10 cm and should fit under the seat in front of you. Typical examples include handbags, laptop bags or slim backpacks. For compact and compliant options, explore our underseat cabin bags, designed for easy access during your flight.
Flying with Other Airlines?
If you are connecting your holiday with another airline, check their cabin policies too. Compare rules for Ryanair, EasyJet or British Airways to make sure your suitcase works across your full itinerary.

FAQ
Does Edelweiss enforce cabin baggage rules strictly?
Yes. Edelweiss checks both weight and dimensions. Economy Class passengers may bring one cabin bag of 55 x 40 x 23 cm up to 8 kg, while Business Class passengers may bring two. Oversized or overweight luggage may be taken at the gate and checked into the hold, sometimes with a fee. Choosing Samsonite cabin cases built for these exact limits ensures you travel worry-free.
Can I bring a handbag alongside my cabin bag?
Yes. One personal item up to 40 x 30 x 10 cm is allowed in addition to your cabin bag. This can be a handbag, laptop bag or small backpack, stored under the seat in front of you. It is the perfect place for essentials such as documents, electronics or valuables.
What is the allowance for Business Class travellers?
Business Class passengers may bring two cabin bags, each up to 55 x 40 x 23 cm and 8 kg. This gives more flexibility for longer trips or when travelling with both leisure and work items. For a coordinated travel set, Samsonite offers matching cabin suitcases and underseat bags designed to fit these rules.
