• Among the 43 verified airlines from Europe, SKY express has the 8th largest cabin bag allowance; the strictest is Loganair (40×35×18 cm).
• In its standard fare, SKY express applies exactly the same cabin bag, personal item and weight figures as Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, Edelweiss Air, Lufthansa and SAS Scandinavian Airlines and 1 more, so a bag packed for one of them also passes on SKY express.
• As a box, SKY express' 55×40×23 cm limit holds about 50.6 litres, the 31st largest volume of the 170 airlines that publish three cabin bag sides.
• With a total size of 118 cm (46.5 in), the SKY express cabin bag is larger than 76% of the 189 verified airlines that include a measured cabin bag in their standard fare (rank 24 of 189, largest first).

• Tested against SKY express' 55×40×23 cm limit, a standard US carry-on of 22 × 14 × 9 in (55.9 × 35.6 × 22.9 cm) is 0.9 cm (0.3 in) too big on the length.
• Tested against SKY express' 55×40×23 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) on 2 sides.
• Across its 2 fares, SKY express changes the rules: both include a cabin bag. Weight limits vary by fare: 8 kg and 13 kg.
• SKY express' 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.

SKY express personal item: what fits under the seat

• Every one of the 2 SKY express fares listed here also includes a cabin bag, so the personal item always comes on top of it.

• Against the 48 airlines from Europe that publish a personal item size (average 87.2 cm in total), SKY express allows 85 cm, more than 4% of them.
• SKY express' personal item (40×30×15 cm, about 18 L) holds 36% of the volume of its cabin bag (about 50.6 L).
• A soft 40 × 30 × 20 cm (15.7 × 11.8 × 7.9 in) under-seat bag is 5 cm (2 in) too big on the depth against SKY express' 40×30×15 cm personal item limit.
