What to know about Air Premia carry-on rules

• Air Premia is based in South Korea with its hub at ICN, and its main markets include United States, Japan, Vietnam and Thailand.
• Among the 31 verified airlines from East Asia, Air Premia has the 2nd largest cabin bag allowance; the strictest is 9 Air (20×30×40 cm).
• In volume terms the Air Premia cabin bag reaches about 44 L; 116 of the 170 airlines with published sides allow a bigger box.
• With a total size of 115 cm (45.3 in), the Air Premia cabin bag is larger than 19% of the 189 verified airlines that include a measured cabin bag in their standard fare (rank 50 of 189, largest first).
• Compared with the 31 airlines from East Asia on this site, whose cabin bags average 112.9 cm (44.5 in) in total, Air Premia allows 2.1 cm (0.8 in) more.
• A standard US carry-on of 22 × 14 × 9 in (55.9 × 35.6 × 22.9 cm) is 2.9 cm (1.1 in) too big on the depth (and 1 other limit) when measured against Air Premia's 55×40×20 cm.
• A typical European cabin case of 55 × 40 × 20 cm (21.7 × 15.7 × 7.9 in) matches the limit exactly (0 cm margin) when measured against Air Premia's 55×40×20 cm.
• Of 177 verified airlines with a published cabin weight limit, 9 allow more than Air Premia's 10 kg (22 lb) for the cabin bag and 129 allow less.
• Besides the 55×40×20 cm sides, Air Premia caps the sum of length, width and height at 115 cm.
• Exceptions noted on the official Air Premia page: Air Premia Wide Premium passengers may bring two cabin bags of up to 10 kg each. (official text: “Wide Premium seats allow two pieces of baggage, each being 10 kg or less.”)

Our notes on Air Premia

Air Premia's carry-on rule comes from its international conditions of carriage rather than a marketing page. The free allowance is defined by size: the three sides together may reach 115 cm, with no side over 55 cm, 40 cm and 20 cm. Economy seats allow one piece of up to 10 kg.

Wide Premium, the airline's larger seat, allows two pieces, each also limited to 10 kg. The bag has to go in the overhead bin or under the seat in front, and the passenger is responsible for it there. The same conditions apply to every international flight from Seoul Incheon, so there is no separate rule by route.
