Buddha Air

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

The context in a few words

Buddha Air is one of those carriers from Népal that locals know well. The network is contained, the fleet modest, but the carry-on policy stays close to industry references.

Allowed format sums up to a few digits: 55x40x20 cm, 5 kg maximum. These dimensions run noticeably stricter than the average — a bag that cleared on another carrier may be turned away here.

On the ground, posted rules and counter practice don't always align. Buddha Air publishes 55x40x20 cm and 5 kg as the upper bound, and gate agents typically allow 1–2 cm of leeway before routing to hold. Don't bank on it — tolerance evaporates the moment the flight fills up.

On this kind of carrier, aircraft can be smaller — turboprops or regional jets. Overhead bins follow suit: a slightly oversized bag may be redirected to the hold at the foot of the stairs, free of charge but with a delay on arrival.

Buddha Air doesn't communicate clearly on the additional personal item. Counter experience favours a small handbag; beyond that, check with the agent or consolidate in the main suitcase to avoid boarding refusal.
