ALK Airlines

Allowed dimensions: 55x40x20 cm · Maximum weight: 5 kg

The context in a few words

Operating out of Bulgarie, ALK Airlines runs a regional network that values consistency over global reach. Carry-on policy stays within a familiar bracket, with neither generous extras nor unusual restrictions.

55x40x20 cm, 5 kg: the grid is restrictive. This is the kind of format that nudges travellers toward a properly sized hard-shell rather than a soft duffel that bulges as it fills.

One useful benchmark: on ALK Airlines, cabin baggage typically fits the overhead bin of an Airbus A320 or Boeing 737, the most common types on their network. The 55x40x20 cm format at 5 kg matches standard bin dimensions, no more. Even seemingly compatible extended cases are best avoided.

Practical advice: on regional flights, the trick is to travel with an in-between format — large enough for a few days' essentials, compact enough for the smaller bins of regional aircraft.

On personal item: ALK Airlines doesn't always formalize a separate allowance from cabin baggage. At boarding, a small handbag is generally tolerated, but bulky items are best packed in the main suitcase. A visible laptop sleeve may be flagged as a duplicate if the agent is strict.
