• Tested against Air Corsica's 55×35×25 cm limit, 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).

• Air Corsica's 12 kg (26.5 lb) limit for the cabin bag is stricter than 1 of the 177 airlines that publish a cabin weight limit, and looser than 168 of them.
• Air Corsica's official text counts wheels and handles in the 55×35×25 cm cabin bag limit.
• Exceptions noted on the official Air Corsica page: On Air Corsica's ATR72 turboprops, cabin baggage is limited to 8 kg instead of 12 kg. (official text: “It may not exceed a maximum weight of 8 kg on the ATR72 aircrafts and 12 kg on the AIRBUS A320s.”)

Our notes on Air Corsica

Air Corsica uses one cabin bag size for its whole fleet, 55 × 35 × 25 cm with wheels and handles counted in the measurement, but two different weights. On the Airbus A320 the bag may weigh up to 12 kg; on the ATR72 turboprops the limit drops to 8 kg.

The aircraft type therefore decides how much you can pack, so check the aircraft shown on your booking for each flight from Ajaccio or Bastia. A bag packed to 12 kg for an A320 flight is 4 kg over the limit if the return leg is flown by an ATR72, even though its size is the same.
