What to know about Neos carry-on rules

• Neos (Italy) flies mostly out of MXP, VRN and BGY; Egypt, Spain, United States, Cuba and Kenya are among its key markets.
• Among the 43 verified airlines from Europe, Neos has the 25th largest cabin bag allowance; the strictest is Loganair (40×35×18 cm).
• In volume terms the Neos 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 Neos 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).
• The average cabin bag of the 43 verified carriers from Europe adds up to 116.7 cm (45.9 in); Neos' limit is 1.7 cm (0.7 in) less than that.
• 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 Neos' 55×40×20 cm.
• Tested against Neos' 55×40×20 cm limit, a typical European cabin case of 55 × 40 × 20 cm (21.7 × 15.7 × 7.9 in) matches the limit exactly (0 cm margin).
• Neos' 8 kg (17.6 lb) limit for the cabin bag is stricter than 53 of the 177 airlines that publish a cabin weight limit, and looser than 84 of them.

Neos personal item: what fits under the seat

• Neos' fare also includes a cabin bag, so the personal item comes on top of it.
• Filled as a box, Neos' 40×30×20 cm personal item holds about 24 litres, above the median of 18 L across the 105 airlines that publish three personal item sides.
• Against the 48 airlines from Europe that publish a personal item size (average 87.2 cm in total), Neos allows 90 cm, more than 57% of them.
• By volume, the 40×30×20 cm personal item on Neos is 55% of the 55×40×20 cm cabin bag: about 24 L against 44 L.
• A soft 40 × 30 × 20 cm (15.7 × 11.8 × 7.9 in) under-seat bag matches the limit exactly (0 cm margin) against Neos' 40×30×20 cm personal item limit.
• With 90 cm in total, the Neos personal item is bigger than 58 and smaller than 27 of the 108 verified airlines that publish a personal item size.
• Other personal item limits at the same airport: Aeroitalia at BGY (40×30×20 cm), against 40×30×20 cm on Neos.
