Royal Airways

Allowed dimensions: 55x40x20 cm · Maximum weight: 7 kg

The context in a few words

Operating out of Tchad, Royal Airways runs a regional network that values consistency over global reach. Carry-on policy stays within a familiar bracket, with neither generous extras nor unusual restrictions.

At 55x40x20 cm, 7 kg, the grid lines up with prevailing IATA references. Most off-the-shelf carry-on cases are compatible out of the box.

One useful benchmark: on Royal Airways, cabin baggage typically fits the overhead bin of an Airbus A320 or Boeing 737, the most common types on their network. The 55x40x20 cm format at 7 kg matches standard bin dimensions, no more. Even seemingly compatible extended cases are best avoided.

Practical advice: on regional flights, the trick is to travel with an in-between format — large enough for a few days' essentials, compact enough for the smaller bins of regional aircraft.

On Royal Airways, 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.
