Our notes on Tunisair Express

Tunisair Express allows only one piece of hand baggage per person, and its weight limit is low: 6 kg. The bag may measure up to 55 cm long, 35 cm wide and 25 cm high.

The 35 cm width is narrower than the 40 cm of many cabin cases, and the 6 kg is below the 7 or 8 kg common on other airlines, so a full trolley can be over on both counts. Tunisair Express states the rule once for every passenger, without a separate figure by fare or class. For flights from Tunis, pack the cabin bag to 6 kg and check its width before you leave home.
