Korean Air Carry-On Rules: Economy to Prestige Class

Cabin allowance

Economy/Premium: one main bag and one personal item, 10 kg combined. First/Prestige: two pieces, 18 kg total. The current rule is 10 kg, not the older 12 kg Economy figure. The Economy/Premium personal item is limited to 40×30×15 cm and must fit under the seat. A third item in First/Prestige is not established by the reviewed allowance. The official main-bag wording is 115 cm total OR 55×40×20 cm, including wheels and handles; the calculator uses the linear-total alternative. A 60×35×20 cm bag totals 115 cm; it still needs safe storage. Domestic and international allowances are the same. Manually add the weights of every item: the calculator checks one bag at a time.

Before departure

Measure the packed bag and weigh all items before leaving. Check the operating carrier for codeshares and every connecting flight. Cabin space is not guaranteed even for compliant bags. Resolve excess at check-in and request the price for your actual itinerary; no universal gate fee or free exception is promised. Confirm infant tickets, child equipment and liquid screening separately. The calculator does not identify aircraft, total several bags or confirm a special arrangement.
