About AirlineLimits
Airline rules are rarely as simple as one number. Fares, routes, aircraft and operating carriers can all change what applies. AirlineLimits gathers the details that are useful before packing and shows where they came from.
Official sources come first
We start with the airline’s own baggage pages, help centre, conditions and topic-specific guidance. A general baggage page is not used as proof for pets or unusual equipment when the airline publishes separate instructions for those topics.
The relevant official links appear on each airline guide. Search results and technical research tools can help us find a page, but they do not become the source for a published rule.
What we record — and what we leave open
- Measurements and weights are recorded as published by the airline.
- We do not convert units and present the result as an airline limit.
- Fare-, route- or aircraft-dependent rules remain conditional.
- If a detail cannot be supported, it stays unknown or is marked for follow-up.
- Summaries are written in our own words instead of copying airline text.
From research to a published guide
A new airline begins as an unpublished draft. Carry-on, checked baggage, pets, special baggage and prohibited items are reviewed separately. The English and German versions, source links and visible conditions are checked before the guide goes live.
Technical checks help us spot missing sections, broken sources and inconsistent data. They support the review; they do not decide whether a claim is reliable enough to publish.
Dates and changing rules
“Last checked” means that the cited material was reviewed on that date. It is not a promise that the airline has made no change since then. Before booking or flying, check the linked airline guidance for the fare and itinerary you will actually use.
Something looks wrong?
AirlineLimits is being built step by step. Even with careful research, a condition can be missed or a rule can change. Specific corrections are welcome and will be checked before the page is changed.
Please include the airline, the affected topic and, if possible, a link to the current official page.
