What to know about Surinam Airways carry-on rules

• From PBM, Surinam Airways mainly connects Suriname with Netherlands, United States, Curaçao, Aruba and Guyana.
• Among the 7 verified airlines from Latin America, Surinam Airways has the 4th largest cabin bag allowance; the strictest is Azul Brazilian Airlines (55×35×25 cm).
• In its standard fare, Surinam Airways applies exactly the same cabin bag, personal item and weight figures as Air Tahiti Nui, so a bag packed for one of them also passes on Surinam Airways.
• Among the 189 verified airlines that include a measured cabin bag, Surinam Airways sits at rank 50; 19% of them allow a smaller total than its 115 cm (45.3 in).
• The average cabin bag of the 7 verified carriers from Latin America adds up to 118.3 cm (46.6 in); Surinam Airways' limit is 3.3 cm (1.3 in) less than that.
• Tested against Surinam Airways' 115 cm total limit, a standard US carry-on of 22 × 14 × 9 in (55.9 × 35.6 × 22.9 cm) fits, but with only 0.7 cm (0.3 in) to spare on the total size.
• A typical European cabin case of 55 × 40 × 20 cm (21.7 × 15.7 × 7.9 in) fits exactly at the limit on the total size when measured against Surinam Airways' 115 cm total.
• Surinam Airways' 10 kg (22 lb) limit for the cabin bag is stricter than 9 of the 177 airlines that publish a cabin weight limit, and looser than 129 of them.
• Surinam Airways publishes only a total for the cabin bag: length + width + height up to 115 cm, so the proportions of the bag are free.

Our notes on Surinam Airways

Surinam Airways publishes the same hand baggage rule for its two networks. On flights between Paramaribo and Amsterdam, and on regional flights, each passenger may take one piece of hand baggage weighing no more than 10 kg.

The size is a total only: length, width and height together may not exceed 115 cm. There is no separate limit for each side, so the shape of the bag is up to you within that sum. On the long Paramaribo–Amsterdam flight, the 10 kg allowance is generous compared with the 7 or 8 kg of many carriers, but there is still only one piece.

Surinam Airways carry-on questions

Does Surinam Airways have a weight limit for carry-on bags?

Yes. On every fare, Surinam Airways sets 10 kg (22 lb) for the cabin bag.

Will a 55 × 40 × 20 cm carry-on fit Surinam Airways' limit?

Yes: against Surinam Airways' 115 cm total limit, a hard 55 × 40 × 20 cm (21.7 × 15.7 × 7.9 in) case fits exactly at the limit on the total size.
