What is a 40x20x30 piece of luggage?
amin bram
A 40 × 20 × 30 cm piece of luggage corresponds to a small cabin bag, also known as a personal item. It is a compact size designed to be placed under the seat in front of you, rather than in the overhead bin. This type of luggage is now the only free size on many airlines, especially low-cost carriers.
It is therefore not a classic cabin suitcase, but a smaller bag designed to carry the essentials without additional fees.
