What to know about Akasa Air carry-on rules

• Akasa Air is based in India with hubs at BOM, BLR, DEL and AMD, and its main markets include Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait and United Arab Emirates.
• Among the 13 verified airlines from South Asia, Akasa Air has the largest cabin bag allowance; the strictest is NOVOAIR (22×35×15 cm).
• In its standard fare, Akasa Air applies exactly the same cabin bag, personal item and weight figures as Air Botswana, Air Chathams, Air Mauritius, Greater Bay Airlines and Malawi Airlines and 2 more, so a bag packed for one of them also passes on Akasa Air.
• Among the 189 verified airlines that include a measured cabin bag, Akasa Air sits at rank 50; 19% of them allow a smaller total than its 115 cm (45.3 in).
• Akasa Air's cabin bag totals 115 cm (45.3 in), 6.8 cm (2.7 in) more than the average of the 13 verified airlines from South Asia (108.2 cm (42.6 in)).
• A standard US carry-on of 22 × 14 × 9 in (55.9 × 35.6 × 22.9 cm) fits, but with only 0.7 cm (0.3 in) to spare on the total size when measured against Akasa Air's 115 cm total.
• Tested against Akasa Air's 115 cm total limit, a typical European cabin case of 55 × 40 × 20 cm (21.7 × 15.7 × 7.9 in) fits exactly at the limit on the total size.
• 7 kg (15.4 lb) for the cabin bag: 11 of the 177 airlines with a published limit are stricter than Akasa Air, 93 are more generous.
• Akasa Air publishes only a total for the cabin bag: length + width + height up to 115 cm, so the proportions of the bag are free.

Akasa Air personal item: what fits under the seat

• Akasa Air's fare also includes a cabin bag, so the personal item comes on top of it.
• Akasa Air sets a separate 3 kg (6.6 lb) limit for the personal item; only 31 of the 220 verified airlines publish a weight for this bag.

Our notes on Akasa Air

Akasa Air allows one hand bag of up to 7 kg and gives its size only as a total: length, width and height together may not exceed 115 cm. There is no fixed limit for each side, so a slim bag and a deeper one are treated the same as long as the total fits.

On top of that, Akasa Air lets you bring one personal item that fits under the seat in front of you, with its own weight limit of 3 kg. The two limits are separate, so a 7 kg bag plus a 3 kg personal item is within the rules. On domestic flights from Mumbai, Bengaluru, Delhi or Ahmedabad, weigh each item on its own.
