What to know about Precision Air carry-on rules
- Precision Air (Tanzania) flies mostly out of DAR; Kenya, Uganda, Comoros and Zambia are among its key markets.
- Among the 24 verified airlines from sub-Saharan Africa, Precision Air has the 21st largest cabin bag allowance; the strictest is Proflight Zambia (30×25×15 cm).
- In its standard fare, Precision Air applies exactly the same cabin bag, personal item and weight figures as Royal Brunei Airlines, so a bag packed for one of them also passes on Precision Air.
- In volume terms the Precision Air cabin bag reaches about 41.8 L; 148 of the 170 airlines with published sides allow a bigger box.
- Precision Air ranks 167th of 189 verified airlines by cabin bag size in the standard fare: its 113 cm (44.5 in) total is bigger than 11% of them.
- Precision Air's cabin bag totals 113 cm (44.5 in), 0.8 cm (0.3 in) less than the average of the 24 verified airlines from sub-Saharan Africa (113.8 cm (44.8 in)).
- Tested against Precision Air's 55×38×20 cm limit, 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).
- Tested against Precision Air's 55×38×20 cm limit, a typical European cabin case of 55 × 40 × 20 cm (21.7 × 15.7 × 7.9 in) is 2 cm (0.8 in) too big on the width.
- Of 177 verified airlines with a published cabin weight limit, 93 allow more than Precision Air's 7 kg (15.4 lb) for the cabin bag and 11 allow less.
Our notes on Precision Air
Precision Air applies the same cabin rule to Business and Economy Class: one piece of hand baggage of up to 7 kg, measuring no more than 55 × 38 × 20 cm.
The 38 cm width is a little narrower than the 40 cm of many cabin cases. Next to the hand baggage, Precision Air lists three personal items that may come on board: one overcoat, one walking stick and one lady's handbag. Business Class gives no extra cabin weight on Precision Air, so on flights from Dar es Salaam the 7 kg is the limit for everyone.
