Saudia Carry-On Rules & Bag Size Guide 2026
Saudia: 56×45×25 cm, 7 kg in Guest. First/Business main bag 12 kg plus a separate 9 kg briefcase; USA/Canada departure exception.
Size and weight by class
| Class | Main bag | Separate briefcase |
|---|---|---|
| Guest / Economy | One 56×45×25 cm bag, 7 kg | No premium briefcase allowance |
| First / Business | One 56×45×25 cm bag, 12 kg | One 45×20×35 cm briefcase, 9 kg |
The briefcase is not a second full-size suitcase, and its 9 kg cannot be added to the main bag. Measure the whole packed bag and check each piece separately.
Departing from the USA or Canada
For travel from the USA or Canada to Saudi Arabia, Saudia specifies only one carry-on item in every class, up to 16 lb and 45 in in dimensions. Confirm how this exception applies to your itinerary before relying on the general class table. The checker does not select departure airports. The 45 in exception does not make Saudia a universal linear-only airline.
Personal articles and cabin space
One additional personal article is listed, such as a coat, tablet, handbag, stroller/baby cradle or essential disability supplies. No universal numeric personal-item dimensions or weight are published. Do not assume an unrestricted extra backpack or extra cabin entitlement from alliance status.
Saudia may move items to the hold for safety or limited storage. No measured airport enforcement rate or fixed worldwide cabin penalty is established here; check the ticket and carrier instructions.
Families and electronics
Confirm infant cabin entitlement, fare and car-seat approval for the actual booking. The reviewed current page does not establish an extra 7 kg infant bag or a universal 10% fare. Stroller handover and return arrangements also need confirmation.
Power banks are limited to two, in cabin baggage; neither charging them nor using them to charge other devices onboard is allowed. USA/UK security may require devices to power on. Check departure/transit liquid-screening requirements.
