Our notes on Nauru Airlines

Nauru Airlines uses one cabin size for both classes, 48 × 34 × 23 cm (length × height × depth), and changes only the total combined weight: 7 kg in Economy, 10 kg in Business.

The 48 cm length is shorter than most cabin cases, so a standard 55 cm trolley will not pass even if it is light. Beyond that allowance, Nauru Airlines may accept a handbag, pocketbook or purse suited to normal travelling dress, but only at its absolute discretion. On the routes from Nauru and Brisbane across the Pacific islands, a compact soft bag is the safest choice.
