The Eminent 55 x 40 x 23cm cabin bag collection is designed for UK travellers who need more packing space than slimmer cabin bags provide. With an extra 3cm of depth compared with 55 x 40 x 20cm cabin bags, this size offers more room for clothing, shoes, and travel essentials while still meeting the size limits set by airlines that allow 23cm cabin baggage depth.

A 55 x 40 x 23cm cabin bag gives you extra packing space compared with 20cm depth cabin bags, making it easier to fit more clothing, shoes, or bulkier essentials.

Sometimes. Wizz Air allows it with WIZZ Priority. easyJet allows it with a paid large carry-on bag or an upgraded fare. Ryanair does not, since its limit is 55 x 40 x 20cm.
