What to know about Widerøe carry-on rules

• Widerøe (Norway) flies mostly out of BOO, TOS, BGO and OSL; Denmark, Sweden, United Kingdom and Germany are among its key markets.
• Unlike 189 of the 220 verified airlines on this site, Widerøe does not include a sized cabin bag in its Mini fare.
• Tested against Widerøe'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 Widerøe, a typical European cabin case of 55 × 40 × 20 cm (21.7 × 15.7 × 7.9 in) matches the limit exactly (0 cm margin); the limit is 55×40×20 cm.
• The 2 Widerøe fares on this page are not equal: 1 of the 2 includes a cabin bag; on Mini the cabin bag is a paid extra.
• On Widerøe (the Mini fare), 8 kg (17.6 lb) is a combined allowance: add the weight of the personal item to the cabin bag.

Widerøe personal item: what fits under the seat

• On Mini, the personal item is the only free bag Widerøe allows in the cabin, so it has to hold everything you take on board.
• Filled as a box, Widerøe's 40×30×15 cm personal item holds about 18 litres, right at the median of 18 L across the 105 airlines that publish three personal item sides.
• Against the 48 airlines from Europe that publish a personal item size (average 87.2 cm in total), Widerøe allows 85 cm, more than 4% of them.
• Widerøe gives the personal item no weight of its own: it shares the 8 kg (17.6 lb) total with the cabin bag.
• By volume, the 40×30×15 cm personal item on Widerøe is 41% of the 55×40×20 cm cabin bag: about 18 L against 44 L.
• A soft 40 × 30 × 20 cm (15.7 × 11.8 × 7.9 in) under-seat bag is 5 cm (2 in) too big on the depth against Widerøe's 40×30×15 cm personal item limit.
• With 85 cm in total, the Widerøe personal item is bigger than 17 and smaller than 54 of the 108 verified airlines that publish a personal item size.
• Other personal item limits at the same airport: Norwegian at OSL (30×40×20 cm) and SAS Scandinavian Airlines at OSL (40×30×15 cm), against 40×30×15 cm on Widerøe.
