• Tested against airblue's 22×15×8 in limit, a standard US carry-on of 22 × 14 × 9 in (55.9 × 35.6 × 22.9 cm) is 2.5 cm (1 in) too big on the depth.

Our notes on airblue

airblue publishes its carry-on limit in inches: one bag per passenger, at most 22 × 15 × 8 in, with length, width and height adding up to no more than 45 inches. The maximum weight is 7 kg (15 lb).

In centimetres the box is about 55.9 × 38.1 × 20.3 cm, so a typical 55 × 40 × 20 cm European cabin case is slightly too wide for the 15 in side. The rule sits in the airline's terms rather than a separate baggage page, and it names only one carry-on bag. On flights from Islamabad, Karachi or Lahore, pick a narrower bag rather than relying on the total.
