How To Measure Your Cabin Luggage

As a general rule, all of our products will be measured by height (H), then width (W), and lastly Depth (D).

However, in the table below you will see that the largest measurement comes first with the smallest last.

As such, if, for example, your airline has provided the following restrictions (56cm x 45cm x 25cm), you should measure your luggage as follows:

Airline Regulations For Liquids

The below is to be used as a general guide only. We at Case luggage strongly recommend you check with your individual carrier before you travel to ensure you meet their requirements.

CARRYING LIQUIDS ON BOARD 

Passengers wishing to take on board any liquids, gels and aerosols, pastes, lotions, creams, drinks, and other items of similar consistency must ensure they are contained in containers with a capacity no greater than 100 ml.

These containers must be placed in a transparent re-sealable plastic bag of a maximum capacity not exceeding one (1) litre. These containers must fit comfortably within the transparent plastic bag, which is to be completely closed. Only one transparent plastic bag per passenger will be permitted. Larger bags or bags that are non-sealable, such as fold-over sandwich bags, are not allowed. Exceptions will be made for medications, baby milk/foods, and special dietary requirements.
