What to know about Tunisair carry-on rules
- Tunisair (Tunisia) flies mostly out of TUN; France, Germany, Italy, Belgium and Morocco are among its key markets.
- Among the 4 verified airlines from North Africa, Tunisair has the 3rd largest cabin bag allowance; the strictest is Air Algérie (35×55×25 cm).
- In volume terms the Tunisair cabin bag reaches about 44 L; 52 of the 60 airlines with published sides allow a bigger box.
- Among the 66 verified airlines that include a measured cabin bag, Tunisair sits at rank 28; 14% of them allow a smaller total than its 115 cm (45.3 in).
- Tested against Tunisair's 55×40×20 cm limit, a standard US carry-on of 22 × 14 × 9 in (55.9 × 35.6 × 22.9 cm) is 2.9 cm (1.1 in) too big on the depth (and 1 other limit).
- On Tunisair, a typical European cabin case of 55 × 40 × 20 cm (21.7 × 15.7 × 7.9 in) fits exactly at the limit on the length (limit: 55×40×20 cm).
- Across its 2 fares, Tunisair changes the rules: all 2 include a cabin bag. Weight limits vary by fare: 8 kg and 10 kg.
- Of 57 verified airlines with a published cabin weight limit, 20 allow more than Tunisair's 8 kg (17.6 lb) for the cabin bag and 23 allow less.
Our notes on Tunisair
On Tunisair, the four economy fares carry exactly the same hand baggage, so your choice between Light, Classic, Flex and Flex + is really about the hold. Light includes no checked bag at all. From Classic up, you get one 23 kg bag between Tunisia and Europe, Morocco or Algeria, two 23 kg bags to Türkiye, the Middle East, West Africa or North America, and one 32 kg bag to Libya.
If what you take does not fit in one cabin piece, Light is the wrong fare. The economy rule mentions a single piece; the extra briefcase or laptop next to the main bag appears only in the Business conditions.
