Check your bag against China Southern Airlines

Before you fly with China Southern Airlines

Official China Southern identity, carry-on and checked-baggage sources verified 1 August 2026. Cabin rules and international/regional per-piece checked rules are approved and publishable. The additional personal item remains unpublished because no fixed dimensions are stated. Domestic checked allowances remain unpublished because they are total-weight allowances rather than per-bag limits.

Your China Southern Airlines allowance varies by fare or purchased option. Match the checker selection to your booking.

Airline staff may require the bag to fit completely inside a rigid airport sizer.

Use this quick guide to compare your bag against China Southern Airlines's published cabin bag and personal item limits. The WillitFit checker is designed to help travellers spot oversize bags before they reach the gate.

Cabin bag size: 55 × 40 × 20 cm; Weight limit: 8 kg

Before you pack

Measure the packed bag, not the empty manufacturer size. Bulging pockets, handles and wheels can affect whether the bag fits the sizer.

At the airport

Keep documents, liquids and electronics easy to reach so you do not need to open and repack your bag during security or boarding.

If your bag is close

A close result means there may be little tolerance. Use the checker, reduce soft contents where possible, and confirm the latest rules with the airline.
