Will a small S-size suitcase be accepted as cabin baggage on a China Southern flight from Nha Trang?
From messages by 4 participants in 1 source · Last activity: 5 days ago
On 3 August 2026 passengers flying China Southern with S-size suitcases bought in Nha Trang wrote after passing security that there was no cabin-bag sizer and the airline did not weigh hand luggage anywhere. This is the experience of one departure, not a guarantee for every flight.

Another participant warned the same day not to rely on online advice here: suitcases labelled S come in different sizes, so one may fit an airline's allowance while another does not.

The most reliable approach, a participant advised, is to look up the cabin-baggage dimensions on the airline's website and compare them with your suitcase, since every airline sets its own limits.
