Air France vs Emirates — carry-on baggage compared | CabinPax

Carry-on rules side by side: maximum dimensions, weight allowance, personal item. Data updated April 2026.

Both carriers operate in the same league, so the gap on carry-on rules is more granular than philosophical. A few centimetres here, a kilo there — but real consequences at the gate.

On weight, Air France comes out on top (12 kg versus 10 kg). For travellers packing electronics, books or sample products, those couple of extra kilos make a real difference.
