Arajet

Allowed dimensions: 56x46x25 cm · Maximum weight: 12 kg

The context in a few words

Arajet belongs to the heritage carriers of République Dominicaine, the airlines that grew alongside commercial aviation and now run dense international networks. Carry-on policy reflects that pedigree: roomy allowances, broadly aligned with IATA standards.

Allowed format: 56x46x25 cm, 12 kg. That's generous compared with what most European low-costs publish — a real argument for travellers weighing options.

In concrete terms: a typical "cabin format" suitcase weighs 2–3 kg empty for 55×40×20 cm. On Arajet, once filled, the usable margin against the 12 kg ceiling shrinks to a few kilos. Frequent travellers tune the bag to exact spec to avoid gate-side reclassification fees.

Tip from the road: on these airlines, the cabin allowance is often paired with a personal item (handbag, laptop bag). Using both tiers properly maximizes capacity without overshooting.

Frequent-flyer trick on Arajet: use the personal item as a "stealth second carry-on". A compact backpack packed sensibly can carry a meaningful share, provided it respects underseat dimensions. That's often where a zero-fee trip turns into a forced upgrade.
