How many kilos can a cabin hand luggage weigh in 2025?
amin bram
In 2025, the allowed weight for carry-on luggage still depends on the airline. There is no universal limit. On average, airlines allow between 7 and 10 kg, but some go up to 12 kg or even no limit if you are able to lift it yourself.
Weight therefore does not change with the new European regulation on dimensions (such as 40×30×15 cm), but it is monitored even more strictly by low-cost airlines.
Allowed carry-on weight in 2025: what to expect?
| Airline | Allowed carry-on weight | Notes |

FAQ on how many kilos a carry-on bag can be in 2025
Can you exceed the weight limit if the bag looks like it fits?
Sometimes. But in 2025, checks are more frequent, especially on low-cost airlines. It is better to stay under 10 kg to avoid fees.
Is the personal item also weighed?
Generally no, but it all depends on the ticket purchased. Some agents combine both to check the total weight.
How to reduce weight without forgetting anything?
Choose lightweight carry-on luggage, wear the heaviest items (coat, shoes), and use compressible accessories.
Is there a trick to avoid weight-related fees?
Yes: a well-calibrated carry-on backpack with multiple compartments remains more discreet than a hard-shell suitcase. Agents weigh it less often.
Is there European regulation on weight?
No. The 2025 European regulation only concerns minimum free dimensions (such as 40×30×15 cm). Weight remains at the discretion of each airline.
