Azul Linhas Aereas cabin bag dimensions and bag size

The maximum Azul Linhas Aereas cabin bag size is 21.7 x 13.8 x 9.8 inches, which works out to 55 x 35 x 25 cm. These measurements include wheels, handles, and any external pockets.

Always measure your bag packed, not empty.

Does Azul Linhas Aereas charge for cabin bag bags?
