Carry-on, personal-item, and checked-bag size and weight limits for 36 major airlines — every figure hand-checked against the airline’s own official baggage page, with the date we last verified it. Free to use and cite under CC-BY 4.0. Numbers shown in the airline’s native unit first; the other unit is an exact conversion, never the airline’s rounded figure.

“No published size” = the airline doesn’t state a personal-item dimension (only “must fit under the seat”); we don’t invent one. “Varies by fare” = checked-bag figure not yet locked for that carrier. Weights are carry-on limits; “No limit” means no published weight cap (size only).
