How the Baggage Size Calculator (Linear Inches and Weight) works
Most airlines limit checked bags by linear dimensions: length + width + height, including wheels and handles. Bags above the limit or the weight allowance pay extra fees or may be refused.
Limits differ by airline, route and ticket type, so always check your booking. A kitchen scale can weigh small bags; for suitcases, weigh yourself with and without the bag.
The formula
Worked example
Using the default values shown in the calculator:
| Length (cm) | 76 |
|---|---|
| Width (cm) | 51 |
| Height (cm) | 31 |
| Weight (kg) | 24 |
| Airline size limit, L + W + H (cm) | 158 |
| Airline weight limit (kg) | 23 |
- 76 + 51 + 31 = 158 cm (62.2 in): within 158 cm.
- At 24 kg against a 23 kg allowance: Overweight; remove 1.0 kg.
Result:
| Linear size (cm) | 158 |
|---|---|
| Linear size (inches) | 62.2 |
| Weight (lb) | 52.9 |
| Verdict | Overweight |
| Weight to remove (kg) | 1.0 |
| Size over the limit (cm) | 0 |
