SAS Connect
Allowed dimensions: 55x40x23 cm · Maximum weight: 8 kg
The context in a few words
Among the major airlines flying out of Irlande, SAS Connect is one of the recognized names. You get the standard full-service package: a layered loyalty programme, differentiated cabins, and a carry-on policy designed for long-haul travel.
The published format — 55x40x23 cm, 8 kg — matches the broader industry standard. A standard 55×40×20 cabin case clears without issue.
For quick comparison: the IATA reference grid is 56×36×23 cm at 7 kg. SAS Connect sits around 55x40x23 cm, with a weight cap of 8 kg — that benchmark anticipates cabin allowance. Any bag over by more than a centimetre risks rerouting to the hold.
In practice, the leniency of these heritage carriers comes with extra attention to connections: cabin baggage stays the passenger's responsibility flight-to-flight, and international transfers stack the gate checks.
The personal item — handbag, sleeve, underseat bag — makes all the difference on long flights. On SAS Connect, used well, it frees the cabin case for essentials and keeps liquids, electronics and papers within reach during the flight.
