Check your bag against Turkish Airlines

Before you fly with Turkish Airlines

Economy passengers may carry one cabin bag up to 23 x 40 x 55 cm and 8 kg plus one personal item up to 40 x 30 x 15 cm and 4 kg. Business passengers may carry two cabin bags, each up to 23 x 40 x 55 cm and 8 kg, plus one personal item. Checked baggage is route- and fare-dependent under piece or weight concepts; each permitted bag must not exceed 158 cm linear size, with maximum piece weights of 23 kg in Economy and 32 kg in Business on piece-concept routes. The booking and ticket remain authoritative for the included allowance.

Your Turkish 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.

Turkish Airlines baggage allowance summary

Use this quick guide to compare your bag against Turkish 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 × 23 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.
