Will a standard carry-on fit Transavia?
The most common US carry-on size is 22 × 14 × 9 in (56 × 36 × 23 cm, wheels included). On Transavia it does not fit — 0.9 cm (0.4 in) too long. The common European cabin size, 55 × 40 × 20 cm, is right at the limit.
Transavia's cabin bag allowance holds about 55 litres. Only 20 of the 151 airlines we track have a bigger one, so most carry-on suitcases sold today will pass.
