Qantas carry-on: international, domestic and India rules
Compare Qantas overhead, underseat and personal items, 7/10/14 kg limits, domestic exceptions and calculator scope.
Qantas distinguishes the route and cabin. A 14 kg total allowance is not permission for one 14 kg suitcase. The overhead bag measures up to 56×36×23 cm, including wheels and stowed handles.
| Flight/cabin | Items | Weight |
|---|---|---|
| International Economy | Overhead bag + small personal item | 7 kg maximum |
| International Premium Economy, Business, First | Overhead + 34×48×23 cm underseat bag + small personal item | 14 kg total, at most 10 kg per item |
| Domestic Economy/Business | Same three item types | 14 kg total, at most 10 kg per item |
| Domestic Dash 8-Q400 | Overhead bag + small personal item | 7 kg maximum |
| Departures from India | One overhead bag; no extra personal item | Economy 7 kg / Business 10 kg |
Distinguish the two underseat items
The larger underseat bag in domestic and premium allowances is not the small personal item. Qantas gives examples of a handbag or laptop in a slim case but no numeric personal-item dimensions. A larger laptop bag counts towards the cabin allowance. Dash 8 wheelie bags may be collected at boarding because they do not fit overhead.
Use the checker for one international overhead bag
The links below check 7 kg Economy or 10 kg per premium item. The tool does not select a domestic route, test the second bag or add weights. For example, two eligible premium bags weighing 10 and 5 kg exceed the 14 kg total. Check each connecting operator and the lowest applicable allowance. A status card is not evidence of an extra cabin allowance.
Family and over-limit bags
Infants have no separate cabin allowance, but an essential food/nappy bag is permitted. A cabin stroller uses an adult piece, must fold to 56×36×23 cm and weigh at most 7 kg; Dash 8/E190 require checked carriage and do not permit gate check. Confirm family-item handover and car-seat approval with Qantas.
Over-limit cabin bags must be checked. Having checked baggage included does not guarantee free excess carriage. Security rules depend on the departure and transit airports.
