Lebanese International Airways

Allowed dimensions: 56x40x25 cm · Maximum weight: 10 kg

The context in a few words

Lebanese International Airways flies from Liban on a full-service model inherited from traditional aviation. In practice, that translates to a more permissive baggage policy than budget airlines — though it's still worth checking the exact figures before check-in.

56x40x25 cm and 10 kg: the policy is on the lenient side. Travellers used to low-cost gauges will breathe easier here.

On the ground, posted rules and counter practice don't always align. Lebanese International Airways publishes 56x40x25 cm and 10 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.

In daily use, dimensional checks are less frequent than on low-cost airlines, but the rules apply once a flight fills up. On busy short-haul routes, an oversized cabin bag may end up in the hold for free — a service that quickly becomes mandatory.

Frequent-flyer trick on Lebanese International Airways: 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.
