Fare type notes
Some airlines include only a smaller underseat item with basic fares. Larger cabin bags can require a paid bundle, priority service, or eligible ticket.
How strict is Swiss?
Swiss publishes 55 x 40 x 23 cm for the cabin bag, and at the gate the sizer frame decides — not your tape measure. Enforcement varies by airport and crew, but a bag within 1 cm of any limit is always a gamble. Hard shells can't squeeze and soft bags bulge once packed — leave yourself a margin.

dimensions
Underseat item
Swiss publishes 40 x 30 x 15 cm as the physical personal item limit; it has to fit under the seat in front of you. This describes size and storage only, not ticket entitlement. Swiss does not publish a weight limit for this bag — the size frame is what gets enforced.
dimensions
Overhead cabin bag
Swiss publishes 55 x 40 x 23 cm as the physical carry-on limit; it goes in the overhead bin. This describes size and storage only, not ticket entitlement. Published weight limit: max 8 kg.

context
Airline context
Swiss is a full-service carrier based in Switzerland. Full-service carriers typically include both a cabin bag and a personal item, but weight gets checked more often than size — keep an eye on the kilo limit as well as the frame.

Swiss publishes 40 x 30 x 15 cm for the personal item, which rides under the seat in front of you, and 55 x 40 x 23 cm for the carry-on, which goes in the overhead bin. Your fare decides whether one or both are included.
No. CabinFit compares your measurements with the limits Swiss published (SWISS hand baggage, last checked Aug 7, 2026). Gate staff, fare conditions, and aircraft changes can still affect the final decision — keep a margin and open the official page before you fly.
CabinFit has not verified Swiss's cabin policies for pets, instruments, or sports equipment yet, and it will not invent them. Use the official Swiss baggage page linked above for those rules.
