Will a standard carry-on fit Saudia?
The most common US carry-on size is 22 × 14 × 9 in (56 × 36 × 23 cm, wheels included). On Saudia it just fits, with under 1 cm to spare. The common European cabin size, 55 × 40 × 20 cm, fits.
Saudia's cabin bag allowance holds about 63 litres. Only 4 of the 151 airlines we track have a bigger one, so most carry-on suitcases sold today will pass.
