Condor Hand Luggage Dimensions – What Applies & How Is It Measured?
Regardless of the chosen fare, passengers are generally permitted to bring one small piece of hand luggage (personal item) on board free of charge. A large piece of hand luggage is either already included depending on the fare or can be added for an additional fee. Since 1st May 2026, Condor has updated its guidelines.
The current rules at a glance:
Small hand luggage (personal item): max. 40 x 30 x 15 cm
Large hand luggage: max. 55 x 40 x 23 cm, up to 8 kg
The dimensions always refer to the height x width x depth of your hand luggage. At the airport, there are so-called hand luggage sizers or baggage frames that your luggage must fit into if you are checked. Please note that wheels and handles on suitcases are also included in the measurement.
Backpack as Small Hand Luggage on Condor
Every Condor fare includes one small piece of hand luggage measuring 40 x 30 x 15 cm free of charge. This size corresponds to a small bag or small backpack. It must be able to be stowed under the seat in front of you – there is definitely room for travel documents, a smartphone, a book, and smaller essentials.
We recommend the Kapten & Son Bergen Pro Backpack as your small piece of hand luggage for your Condor flight. With its minimalist design, compact interior layout, and laptop compartment, it is the ideal in-flight companion. This way, you have everything quickly to hand without needing to reach up to the overhead locker. Thanks to its luggage attachment, the backpack can be perfectly combined with a large hand luggage suitcase.
In addition to the Bergen Pro, further backpack collections are suitable as small hand luggage. Discover our travel buddies:

Large Hand Luggage on Condor: Dimensions + Suitcase Recommendation
Since May 2026, large hand luggage must not exceed the dimensions of 55 x 40 x 23 cm and a weight of 8 kg. It is stored in the overhead lockers above your seat and is either included depending on the fare or can be added for an additional fee.
The Heathrow Cabin Collection from Kapten & Son has you perfectly equipped. The hard-shell suitcase offers 33 litres of capacity, four 360° spinner wheels, and a timeless design – available in All Black, Sandstone, or Aluminium. Those who prefer travelling with a backpack are well advised to choose the Bali Pro or the Lisbon Pro: both meet the size requirements and, thanks to their roll-top function, offer additional volume and maximum flexibility.
