Definition: This calculator estimates the volume of luggage in cubic centimeters based on its length, width, and height measurements.
Purpose: It helps travelers determine if their luggage meets size restrictions for airlines or storage compartments.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The three dimensions are multiplied together to calculate the total volume of the luggage.
Details: Knowing your luggage volume helps ensure compliance with airline restrictions, optimal packing, and avoiding extra fees.
Tips: Measure your luggage at its widest points (including wheels and handles) in centimeters. Enter all three dimensions to get the volume.
Q1: How do I measure my luggage correctly?
A: Measure the length (longest side), width (side perpendicular to length), and height (remaining dimension) at their maximum points.
Q2: What's a typical carry-on luggage volume?
A: Most airlines allow carry-ons up to 40,000-55,000 cm³, but check with your specific airline.
Q3: How do I convert cm³ to liters?
A: Divide the cm³ value by 1000 (1 liter = 1000 cm³).
Q4: Should I include wheels and handles in measurements?
A: Yes, airlines typically include all protruding parts in their size restrictions.
Q5: What if my luggage is an irregular shape?
A: Measure the maximum dimensions in each direction to get the bounding box volume.
