Rex Airlines cabin bag rules

Small turboprop bins mean small bags: think soft-sided, not spinner.

The allowance in plain English

All fares on Saab 340 regional services.

* Rex Airlines allows a small personal item that must fit under the seat in front, without publishing a size. We use 40 x 30 x 15 cm as a conservative target.

If the bag fails the check

Carry-on that exceeds the limits at the boarding gate is offloaded to the hold. Staff can test-fit your bag at check-in, which is the moment to ask.

Packing tips for Rex Airlines

Rex does not publish a firm size template; 48 x 34 x 23 cm is the widely used regional figure, so treat it as the ceiling.
Rigid 55 cm spinners often do not fit the Saab 340 overhead bins at all.
Ask for a size check at the counter rather than discovering the problem on the stairs.

Close to the limit: check before you fly

Rex Airlines publishes no exact personal-item size. These bags are inside the largest size any Australian airline publishes (45 x 33 x 20 cm) and often pass, but they are bigger than our safe target.
