Leicht packen und stilvoll ankommen mit SWISS
Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS) is known for its punctuality, precision, and refined onboard service, offering connections across Europe, North America, Asia and beyond. As Switzerland’s flagship airline and a member of the Lufthansa Group, SWISS combines efficiency with understated elegance. To make the most of your journey, understanding their cabin baggage policy is essential. Choosing a Samsonite suitcase that meets these requirements not only ensures compliance but also adds style, convenience and peace of mind to every stage of your trip.
How SWISS Carry-On Baggage Works
SWISS allows one piece of cabin baggage per passenger in Economy and Premium Economy, and two pieces in Business or First Class. This carry-on bag must not exceed 55 x 40 x 23 cm and must weigh no more than 8 kg. These limits are in place to ensure comfort and safety in the cabin, and they apply per bag. If your luggage is too large or heavy, it may need to be checked at the gate, sometimes at an additional cost.
Choosing a suitcase designed to fit within SWISS cabin restrictions means smoother boarding, quicker connections and fewer unexpected delays. Many Samsonite models are made specifically for these kinds of precise airline limits, helping you maximise your space without going over.
Personal Item Allowance
In addition to your main cabin bag, SWISS permits one personal item. This can be a handbag, laptop bag or small backpack, and it must not exceed 40 x 30 x 10 cm. This smaller item should fit comfortably under the seat in front of you, giving you easy access to valuables, travel documents, or electronics during the flight.
A personal item is especially useful on full flights where overhead space is limited. Pairing your cabin suitcase with a Samsonite underseat bag or compact business backpack is a smart way to keep your essentials close while remaining fully compliant with airline rules.

FAQ
Is SWISS strict about carry-on dimensions and weight?
Yes, SWISS is known to apply its baggage rules consistently. Carry-on bags must not exceed 55 x 40 x 23 cm and 8 kg in weight. If your bag is too large or heavy, it may be taken at the gate and placed in the hold. This is particularly likely on busy flights or when flying on smaller aircraft with limited cabin space. To avoid unexpected charges or delays, it’s always best to choose a bag that has been designed with these airline limits in mind.
Can I bring a handbag along with my cabin bag?
Yes, all passengers are allowed one personal item in addition to their main carry-on. The personal item must not exceed 40 x 30 x 10 cm and should be small enough to fit under the seat in front of you. Ideal options include a laptop bag, a small handbag, or a slim backpack. This allows you to keep your travel essentials accessible throughout the flight, even if the overhead lockers are full. Samsonite’s range includes stylish and practical options specifically sized for this allowance.
What is the carry-on allowance for Business and First Class on SWISS?
Travellers in Business or First Class on SWISS are permitted to bring two carry-on bags. Each bag must still comply with the size limit of 55 x 40 x 23 cm and must weigh no more than 8 kg. This extra allowance gives premium passengers more flexibility when packing for longer journeys or work-related travel. For the best experience, look for a Samsonite luggage set that includes a matching cabin case and personal item, both built to meet SWISS’s detailed requirements.
