Pouya Air

Maximum weight: 8 kg

The context in a few words

Pouya Air mostly operates within Iran and its immediate neighbours. It's the typical regional carrier profile: a tight fleet, focused routes, and a baggage policy that mirrors the regional norm.

Format-wise, and 8 kg max sit in the expected range. A "major-airline format" cabin case clears without trouble.

In concrete terms: a typical "cabin format" suitcase weighs 2–3 kg empty for 55×40×20 cm. Weight is the recurring concern: at 2–3 kg empty, payload melts fast. Frequent travellers tune the bag to exact spec to avoid gate-side reclassification fees.

On the ground, agent discretion is wider than on majors. A bag that's slightly over may pass; a clearly oversized one ends up in the hold, sometimes free of charge, but with extra wait at arrival.

On personal item: Pouya Air 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.
