The 56 x 45 x 25cm cabin suitcase is one of the largest cabin bag sizes accepted by many airlines. If you want to make the most of your cabin baggage allowance without checking a suitcase, this collection brings together models designed for generous packing capacity. Depending on the model, you'll also find expandable suitcases that provide extra flexibility when you need additional space.
A maximum sized cabin bag is designed for travellers who want to carry as much as possible onboard. Compared with smaller cabin suitcases, it gives you more room for clothing, shoes, and travel essentials, making it a practical choice for longer trips or anyone who prefers to travel with hand luggage only.
Before choosing this size, it's worth considering the airlines you fly most often. While many carriers allow larger cabin bags, others have stricter size limits, so a slimmer cabin suitcase may be the better option for those routes.
The right cabin suitcase depends on how you travel.
If airline compatibility is your priority, a 55 x 40 x 20cm suitcase is better suited to airlines with stricter cabin baggage limits.
If you want a balance between packing space and airline flexibility, a 55 x 40 x 23cm suitcase offers additional capacity while remaining within many larger cabin baggage allowances.
If you regularly travel with airlines that allow larger cabin bags, a suitcase within the 56 x 45 x 25cm size range lets you make the most of the available space without moving to checked luggage.
Different travellers look for different features, which is why the collection includes a variety of cabin suitcase designs.
Depending on the model, you'll find:

Always check your airline's current baggage policy before travelling, as cabin baggage allowances may vary between fares.
Many airlines accept cabin bags up to 56 x 45 x 25cm, making it one of the most common maximum cabin luggage sizes. However, allowances vary between airlines and fare types, so it's always best to check your airline's baggage policy before you fly.
Hard-shell suitcases in this size usually weigh between 2.7kg and 3.6kg empty, with most models sitting around 2.8 to 3.2kg. A lighter empty case leaves more of your airline's weight allowance for what you actually pack.
Weight limits are set by the airline, not the suitcase dimensions, and typically range from 7kg to 12kg. Some airlines don't specify a limit at all, as long as you can lift your bag into the overhead locker unassisted. Always check your airline's current policy before you fly.
