RAF-Avia

Allowed dimensions: 50x35x16 cm · Maximum weight: 6 kg

The context in a few words

RAF-Avia mostly operates within Lettonie 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.

Numbers to remember: 50x35x16 cm and 6 kg. At this level of rigour, the gap between theory and gate practice gets expensive — a lot of travellers get caught and end up paying for hold luggage.

In concrete terms: a typical "cabin format" suitcase weighs 2–3 kg empty for 55×40×20 cm. On RAF-Avia, once filled, the usable margin against the 6 kg ceiling shrinks to a few kilos. 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 RAF-Avia, unclear personal-item language calls for caution. A thin laptop sleeve clears in 95% of cases; a backpack sized like a second cabin bag, much less. When in doubt, the safe play is to consolidate everything into the main bag.
