Emirates vs Qatar Airways — carry-on baggage compared | CabinPax

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

Emirates and Qatar Airways sit in similar segments, which makes the comparison cleaner — what shifts is mostly the dimensional grid and a few details around the personal item.

On weight, Emirates comes out on top (10 kg versus 7 kg). For travellers packing electronics, books or sample products, those couple of extra kilos make a real difference.
