Lufthansa carry-on baggage allows 55 x 40 x 23 cm, and Turkish Airlines carry-on baggage allows the same 55 x 40 x 23 cm. Ryanair's standard fare covers only a small bag of 40 x 30 x 20 cm (Ryanair Bag Policy). Every airline plays by its own rules, and the numbers are impossible to keep straight.

A typical scenario: family on a flight, 30 minutes after takeoff. The three-year-old dumps an entire cup of apple juice onto his father's lap. Panicked grab for the backpack. Spare clothes? In the checked luggage, of course. 300 kilometers below the plane.

Four weeks of work, multiple countries, zero checked luggage, one backpack around 10 kg. Straight past the check-in queue, through security, and at the gate in 20 to 25 minutes. That's the promise of carry-on only travel for digital nomads — and it holds up when the system behind it is right.

94 percent. That's how many Eurowings pilots voted in favor of strike action in a formal ballot, with 82% turnout. The pilots' union Vereinigung Cockpit announced the result on March 17, 2026. No strike date has been set yet. But the Easter holidays starting March 30? Those are very much at risk.

A bag measuring 55 × 40 × 20 cm is too big for Ryanair on a standard fare. The same bag is too big for easyJet on a standard fare. On Lufthansa it fits. On Ryanair with Priority it fits to the millimetre.

Frankfurt's brand-new Terminal 3 opens on April 22, 2026. Twenty-one security lanes, every single one with a CT scanner. Laptop stays in your bag, liquids stay in your carry-on (up to 2 liters per bottle). No unpacking, no zip bag.

In summer 2025, according to Germany's Federal Statistical Office, 68.5 million passengers departed German airports. I'd bet a good portion of them ran into trouble at the gate.

I watched a woman at Cologne airport hand over 60 euros because her trolley was 3 centimeters too wide for Ryanair's free allowance. Sixty euros. For a weekend trip to Barcelona. That's more than her flight cost.
