What to know about TransNusa carry-on rules

• TransNusa (Indonesia) flies mostly out of CGK; Malaysia, Singapore, China and Australia are among its key markets.
• Among the 17 verified airlines from Southeast Asia, TransNusa has the largest cabin bag allowance; the strictest is Super Air Jet (40×30×20 cm).
• In its standard fare, TransNusa applies exactly the same cabin bag, personal item and weight figures as Qantas, so a bag packed for one of them also passes on TransNusa.
• In volume terms the TransNusa cabin bag reaches about 46.4 L; 79 of the 170 airlines with published sides allow a bigger box.
• TransNusa 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 17 verified carriers from Southeast Asia adds up to 113.4 cm (44.6 in); TransNusa's limit is 1.6 cm (0.6 in) more than that.
• On TransNusa, a standard US carry-on of 22 × 14 × 9 in (55.9 × 35.6 × 22.9 cm) fits, but with only 0.1 cm (0 in) to spare on the length; the limit is 56×36×23 cm.
• Tested against TransNusa's 56×36×23 cm limit, a typical European cabin case of 55 × 40 × 20 cm (21.7 × 15.7 × 7.9 in) is 4 cm (1.6 in) too big on the width.
• 7 kg (15.4 lb) for both bags together: 11 of the 177 airlines with a published limit are stricter than TransNusa, 93 are more generous.
• TransNusa counts both bags in one 7 kg total on every fare, so a heavy personal item reduces what the cabin bag may weigh.
• Compared with TransNusa's 115 cm (45.3 in): at CGK, Super Air Jet allows 25 cm (9.8 in) less in total (90 cm (35.4 in)).

Our notes on TransNusa

TransNusa limits cabin baggage to 56 × 36 × 23 cm and asks that it fit in the overhead storage compartment. You may bring two pieces, but their total weight may not exceed 7 kg.

The 36 cm width is narrower than the 40 cm of many cabin cases, and the 7 kg is shared, so a heavy laptop bag reduces what you can put in the main bag. Prepaid baggage is sold in steps, from a minimum of 10 kg on domestic flights and 4 kg on international flights. Flying from Jakarta, adding prepaid baggage is the way to carry more than 7 kg.
