MIAT cabin baggage: international and domestic limits
MIAT international cabin baggage totals 115 cm: one piece up to 8 kg in Economy or 12 kg in Business. Domestic limits are smaller.
First identify whether your flight is international or domestic. MIAT publishes different cabin allowances for those two scopes. An international ticket does not make the larger limit apply to a separate domestic flight.
Allowances at a glance
| Flight and cabin | Pieces | Maximum weight | Size rule |
|---|---|---|---|
| International Economy | 1 | 8 kg | Length + width + depth up to 115 cm |
| International Business | 1 | 12 kg | Length + width + depth up to 115 cm |
| Domestic | 1 | 5 kg | Up to 85 cm total; page states 40×30×15 cm |
The international page and its diagram give a total measurement, not a separate limit for each side. For example, 55+40+20=115 cm; that is an arithmetic example, not a published 55×40×20 cm box guarantee. The bag must still fit safely in the cabin storage space. Measure the complete packed bag conservatively; the reviewed diagram does not explain a wheel or handle exception.
Personal articles
The international page lists small additional articles, including a handbag, laptop or camera, plus several other specific items. It does not publish a numerical personal-bag size or weight in that section. Do not turn that omission into permission for another full-size suitcase or an unlimited-weight backpack. Confirm an unusual item directly with MIAT.
Use the correct check
Check international Economy or international Business. CarrySizer currently applies the international allowance. It does not detect domestic flights from your airline selection; compare those separately with the 5 kg/85 cm rule above and your booking.
For connecting carriers, check the route and read each operator’s exceptions. Do not assume a checked-baggage allowance increases the cabin allowance. We have no verified itinerary-specific excess fee; an unavailable price is not a free service.
Pack, measure and weigh before leaving. Check airport screening and restricted items separately: meeting a bag-size limit does not authorize every item inside it.
