What to know about Tigerair Taiwan carry-on rules

• From TPE, KHH and RMQ, Tigerair Taiwan mainly connects Taiwan with Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Vietnam and Macao SAR China.
• Among the 31 verified airlines from East Asia, Tigerair Taiwan has the 2nd largest cabin bag allowance; the strictest is 9 Air (20×30×40 cm).
• As a box, Tigerair Taiwan's 54×38×23 cm limit holds about 47.2 litres, the 78th largest volume of the 170 airlines that publish three cabin bag sides.
• With a total size of 115 cm (45.3 in), the Tigerair Taiwan 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 31 verified carriers from East Asia adds up to 112.9 cm (44.5 in); Tigerair Taiwan's limit is 2.1 cm (0.8 in) more than that.
• Tested against Tigerair Taiwan's 54×38×23 cm limit, a standard US carry-on of 22 × 14 × 9 in (55.9 × 35.6 × 22.9 cm) is 1.9 cm (0.7 in) too big on the length.
• Tested against Tigerair Taiwan's 54×38×23 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 (and 1 other limit).
• 10 kg (22 lb) for both bags together: 129 of the 177 airlines with a published limit are stricter than Tigerair Taiwan, 9 are more generous.
• Tigerair Taiwan counts both bags in one 10 kg total on every fare, so a heavy personal item reduces what the cabin bag may weigh.
• Tigerair Taiwan's official text counts wheels and handles in the 54×38×23 cm cabin bag limit.
