What to know about Bamboo Airways carry-on rules

• Among the 17 verified airlines from Southeast Asia, Bamboo Airways has the largest cabin bag allowance; the strictest is Super Air Jet (40×30×20 cm).
• In its standard fare, Bamboo Airways applies exactly the same cabin bag, personal item and weight figures as Spring Japan, so a bag packed for one of them also passes on Bamboo Airways.
• In volume terms the Bamboo Airways cabin bag reaches about 46.4 L; 79 of the 170 airlines with published sides allow a bigger box.
• Bamboo Airways ranks 50th of 189 verified airlines by cabin bag size in the standard fare: its 115 cm (45.3 in) total is bigger than 19% of them.
• Bamboo Airways' cabin bag totals 115 cm (45.3 in), 1.6 cm (0.6 in) more than the average of the 17 verified airlines from Southeast Asia (113.4 cm (44.6 in)).
• A standard US carry-on of 22 × 14 × 9 in (55.9 × 35.6 × 22.9 cm) fits, but with only 0.1 cm (0 in) to spare on the length when measured against Bamboo Airways' 56×36×23 cm.
• On Bamboo Airways, a typical European cabin case of 55 × 40 × 20 cm (21.7 × 15.7 × 7.9 in) is 4 cm (1.6 in) too big on the width; the limit is 56×36×23 cm.
• 7 kg (15.4 lb) for both bags together: 11 of the 177 airlines with a published limit are stricter than Bamboo Airways, 93 are more generous.
• The 7 kg (15.4 lb) limit on the Economy fare of Bamboo Airways covers the personal item and the cabin bag together, not each bag.
• Besides the 56×36×23 cm sides, Bamboo Airways caps the sum of length, width and height at 115 cm.
• Exceptions noted on the official Bamboo Airways page: Bamboo Airways' small item is either a handbag up to 30 × 20 × 10 cm or a laptop bag up to 40 × 30 × 10 cm. (official text: “Một túi xách (nam/nữ) hoặc sách, tạp chí, máy ảnh, túi mua hàng tại sân bay... có kích thước không quá 30cm x 20cm x 10cm … hoặc Một túi đựng máy tính xách tay có khích thước tối đa là 40cm x 30cm x 10cm”) Bamboo Airways Business passengers may bring two main pieces of up to 7 kg each, 14 kg in total.
