What to know about SpiceJet carry-on rules

• From DEL and BOM, SpiceJet mainly connects India with United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Thailand and Nepal.
• Among the 13 verified airlines from South Asia, SpiceJet has the largest cabin bag allowance; the strictest is NOVOAIR (22×35×15 cm).
• In volume terms the SpiceJet cabin bag reaches about 48.1 L; 55 of the 170 airlines with published sides allow a bigger box.
• SpiceJet 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.
• The average cabin bag of the 13 verified carriers from South Asia adds up to 108.2 cm (42.6 in); SpiceJet's limit is 6.8 cm (2.7 in) more than that.
• On SpiceJet, 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 (and 1 other limit); the limit is 55×35×25 cm.
• Tested against SpiceJet's 55×35×25 cm limit, a typical European cabin case of 55 × 40 × 20 cm (21.7 × 15.7 × 7.9 in) is 5 cm (2 in) too big on the width.
• 7 kg (15.4 lb) for the cabin bag: 11 of the 177 airlines with a published limit are stricter than SpiceJet, 93 are more generous.
• On SpiceJet (every fare), 7 kg (15.4 lb) is a combined allowance: add the weight of the personal item to the cabin bag.
• Besides the 55×35×25 cm sides, SpiceJet caps the sum of length, width and height at 115 cm.
• Exceptions noted on the official SpiceJet page: On SpiceJet's Q400 turboprops, the hand baggage limit is smaller than on its Boeing jets. (official text: “and 50 cm + 35 cm + 23 cm (L+W+H; total 108 cm or 42.5 inches) on Q400 flights.”)

Our notes on SpiceJet

SpiceJet's hand baggage size depends on the aircraft. On Boeing flights, the bag may measure 55 + 35 + 25 cm, a total of 115 cm. On Q400 turboprops, it drops to 50 + 35 + 23 cm, a total of 108 cm (42.5 in).

The weight limit is 7 kg for one piece, free of charge. A laptop bag or a lady's purse can be carried in addition, but only if the total weight of all cabin baggage stays within the same 7 kg. Check whether your flight from Delhi or Mumbai uses a Boeing or a Q400 before choosing a 55 cm case.
