AirSial Hand Carry Baggage — The Official Rule

AirSial states its hand baggage rule in its official ticket information: one piece, maximum 7 kg, sized 22 + 15 + 8 inches — 45 inches in total. Here is what that means in centimetres, which bags comply, and how the rule compares with the rest of Pakistan's carriers.

AirSial, the Sialkot-based carrier flying domestic routes and selected international services, publishes its baggage terms inside its official e-ticket information — not on a glossy policy page, but in the document that actually governs your flight. The figures below were read from that official ticket information for our baggage database and verified on October 30, 2026.

The size in centimetres — and a small warning

Converted, AirSial's shape is about 56 x 38 x 20 cm. Compare it with the size widely reported for PIA, 55 x 40 x 20 cm: nearly the same box, drawn slightly differently — a touch taller, a touch narrower. A bag bought to the common standard (55 x 40 x 20 cm) totals 115 cm against AirSial's 114 cm total: one centimetre over on paper. In practice, soft bags settle and enforcement works on the total picture, but the strict reading argues for choosing a bag a fraction under the maximum — or one whose three dimensions you can verify sum to 114 cm or less. Our shop states full dimensions on every product for exactly this kind of comparison.

One piece means one piece

AirSial's wording is a single piece of hand baggage. Unlike Gulf carriers that publish a cabin bag plus a personal item, the AirSial rule as published is one total. The traveller's translation: your handbag or laptop bag should be small enough to read as part of that single allowance, and you should be able to consolidate everything into the one piece if asked. The full strategy is in carrying two bags; for ladies, the handbag rule explains the personal-item logic that applies on airlines that publish one.

One piece, 7 kg: the discipline is simple, and a light bag makes it generous.

Packing and buying for AirSial

With 7 kg and one piece, empty weight is everything: a 1 kg duffel leaves 6 kg of trip; a 3 kg trolley leaves 4. AirSial's domestic sectors (Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Sialkot, Multan, Peshawar and Quetta among them) are short, so most travellers need less than they fear — pack by the layer system and weigh at home. In our shop, the feather-light duffel (55 x 35 x 20 cm, about 43 inches total) and the 30L backpack both sit inside AirSial's total with margin.

Checked baggage, for context

The same ticket information describes the standard checked allowance as 1 piece of not more than 20 kg per adult and child (the example given is a Karachi–Peshawar ticket), with checked dimensions to 54 inches total and a maximum of 30 kg accepted for any single bag, with excess and oversize charges applying. Allowances vary by fare type, so your own ticket's figures govern — quoted here only so the hand baggage rule sits in its proper context.

One more practical note from the same source material: AirSial states that infants are not entitled to a free baggage allowance of their own, though a baby cot or pram is carried free. Families should therefore plan the cabin bag as shared family infrastructure — the parents' single pieces carry the baby's essentials too, which is another argument for the lightest bags in the 7kg category and for keeping a change of baby clothes in the personal items, not in anything that might be gate-checked.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is AirSial's hand carry allowance?

From AirSial's official ticket information: one piece of hand baggage, maximum 7 kg, sized length 22 + width 15 + height 8 inches — a 45-inch total. The figures were verified from airsial.com ticket information on October 30, 2026.

What is AirSial's hand carry size in cm?

About 56 x 38 x 20 cm, totalling roughly 114 cm across the three dimensions. A standard 55 x 40 x 20 cm cabin bag is a centimetre over that total on paper, so a slightly smaller or soft-sided bag is the safest choice.

Can I carry a handbag as well as my hand baggage on AirSial?

The published rule is one piece of hand baggage. Keep any handbag or laptop bag small enough to be treated as part of that single allowance, and be ready to consolidate it into the main piece if the check-in staff apply the one-piece rule strictly.

What is AirSial's checked baggage allowance?

The official ticket information describes a standard checked allowance of 1 piece up to 20 kg per adult and child, with total dimensions to 54 inches and up to 30 kg accepted per bag with charges. Allowances vary by fare type — your ticket states the figures for your booking.
