Travellers today have the opportunity to take advantage of low –price plane tickets with budget airlines. The cost of putting luggage in the baggage hold of the plane can be more than the ticket itself. This has motivated passengers to try to take hand luggage only and luggage manufactures to provide cabin luggage that is acceptable to airlines. Cabin luggage is luggage which can be carried on board with the passenger at no extra cost. Some airlines allow hand luggage that goes under your seat and this is different from the cabin luggage that must fit in the overhead locker.
Airlines will specify what size cabin luggage can be and Skyscanner.net has a list of the current dimensions that different airlines specify as being cabin luggage.

Etihad say on their website, ‘each item must not exceed dimensions of 115 cm (40x50x25)’. British Airway say that their main piece of cabin luggage should be 56x45x25cm.
