Lion Air has smaller cabin bag dimensions than most LCCs: 40×30×20 cm. Standard carry-on suitcases may not fit. 1 bag up to 7 kg.

How to use this policy

Start with the cabin bag row, then check the weight and personal-item rows separately. A bag has to pass every published limit at once; being under the length and width limit does not help if the depth, weight, or fare-specific allowance is tighter.
