Air Arabia carry-on: 7 kg bag plus 3 kg personal item

Air Arabia publishes one 55×40×20 cm cabin bag up to 7 kg, plus one 25×33×20 cm personal item up to 3 kg. The combined limit is 10 kg, including duty-free purchases. It does not allow a single main bag weighing 10 kg. The personal item goes under the seat and may require declaration and tagging at check-in.

Before the airport

Weigh each packed bag separately, then include your purchases in the total. Measure the complete closed bag. Cabin baggage is included; buying checked baggage does not increase the main cabin bag’s 7 kg limit. The checked allowance and number of pieces depend on the purchased option: 40 kg in two pieces is a combined total.

If cabin baggage exceeds the size or weight limit, you may have to repack or check it with applicable charges. The current FAQ says a fee of AED 100 per excess piece may apply at the gate. There is no verified universal online price to compare with that gate charge.

Infants and equipment

An infant under two permits one extra bag of essentials up to 3 kg, fitting under the seat. Declare and tag it at check-in. The family page permits stroller use until boarding, but says it is counted in the baggage allowance if handed in with checked baggage. Confirm handling with the airline; do not assume cabin carriage or free car-seat transport. The infant fare depends on the destination.

The cabin FAQ restricts liquid containers over 100 ml. Check security rules at your departure and transit airports and any applicable exceptions.
