TAP Air Portugal Cabin Bag | Fits 55x20x40cm

TAP Air Portugal Cabin Baggage

TAP Air Portugal's cabin bag allowance is 55x40x20cm, which is a little narrower in depth than some other carriers. That means not all 55cm cabin bags will fit - depth is worth checking before you travel.

Flight Knight has several sizes that work well for TAP: compact underseat options and overhead cases that sit within the 20cm depth limit.

TAP's cabin bag inclusion also varies by fare type. Discount and Basic fares may restrict you to a smaller personal item. If you've booked a discounted ticket, it's worth double-checking what's included so you're not caught out at Lisbon or Porto airport.

Yes, ITA Airways accepts hard shell cabin bags within the 55 x 35 x 25cm size limit. Flight Knight hard shell cases in compatible sizes are a solid choice for ITA flights, offering protection while staying lightweight.
Flight Knight bags in 40x30x20cm, 45x36x20cm, 55x35x20cm, and 55x40x20cm are all compatible with TAP's 55x40x20cm allowance. The 55x40x20cm case makes the most of the maximum permitted size while staying within the depth limit.
TAP's cabin bag inclusion depends on your fare type. Basic and Discount fares may only include a personal item (under the seat). Classic fare and above include an overhead cabin bag. Review your ticket conditions carefully before travelling.

Passengers on Classic and higher fares can bring one overhead cabin bag (55 x 40 x 20cm) plus one personal item under the seat. Basic and Discount passengers are typically limited to a personal item only.
TAP's 20cm depth restriction is tighter than many other airlines. A standard cabin bag that's 25cm deep, for example, would exceed this limit. It's worth checking the depth of any bag you're considering before flying TAP, as oversized bags may be checked into the hold at the gate.
TAP Air Portugal enforces cabin bag size limits, and sizers are sometimes used at boarding. Bags that don't meet the 55 x 40 x 20cm requirement may be gate-checked. Choosing a bag that's designed to meet this allowance avoids any last-minute stress.
