What to know about Air Algérie carry-on rules
- Air Algérie is based in Algeria with its hub at ALG, and its main markets include France, Spain, Italy, Belgium and Germany.
- Among the 4 verified airlines from North Africa, Air Algérie has the 3rd largest cabin bag allowance; Air Algérie itself is the strictest.
- As a box, Air Algérie's 35×55×25 cm limit holds about 48.1 litres, the 29th largest volume of the 60 airlines that publish three cabin bag sides.
- With a total size of 115 cm (45.3 in), the Air Algérie cabin bag is larger than 14% of the 66 verified airlines that include a measured cabin bag in their standard fare (rank 28 of 66, largest first).
- A standard US carry-on of 22 × 14 × 9 in (55.9 × 35.6 × 22.9 cm) is 0.9 cm (0.3 in) too big on the length (and 1 other limit) when measured against Air Algérie's 35×55×25 cm.
- A typical European cabin case of 55 × 40 × 20 cm (21.7 × 15.7 × 7.9 in) is 5 cm (2 in) too big on the width when measured against Air Algérie's 35×55×25 cm.
- Of 57 verified airlines with a published cabin weight limit, 4 allow more than Air Algérie's 10 kg (22 lb) for the cabin bag and 39 allow less.
- Exceptions noted on the official Air Algérie page: “Air Algerie allows one free cabin bag of 10 Kg maximum weight (5 Kg for ATR aircrafts).”
Our notes on Air Algérie
Air Algérie gives you one cabin bag and nothing next to it. A laptop, a handbag or a camera does not travel as a separate item: it has to go inside that single bag, so pack the bag with room for them before you leave home.
Before packing, check whether your flight is operated by an ATR turboprop. On those aircraft the allowed bag is much smaller and lighter, and a bag packed for a jet can fail both limits.
A bag that is too big or too heavy is not refused: Air Algérie sends it to the hold as checked luggage. Keep an electronic cigarette with you, as Air Algérie forbids it in checked baggage and does not allow its use on board.
