Condor Personal Item Size (2026)
Condor’s free personal item is the small bag (kleine Tasche), 40 × 30 × 15 cm, on every fare including Economy Zero. The trolley is separate.
Quick answer
Condor’s free “personal item” is officially the small bag (kleine Tasche): max 40 × 30 × 15 cm (current from May 1, 2026; it was 40 × 30 × 10 cm until April 30, 2026). It is included on every fare, including Economy Zero and Economy Light. Official examples: handbag, small backpack, laptop bag. Stow it under the seat (EU carry-on page). It is not the Handgepäck trolley (55 × 40 × 23 cm). That trolley needs a Light, Classic, Green or Flex fare that includes it, Business or Premium rights, or a paid Zero add-on. On Economy Zero, pack meds, docs, and valuables here; this may be your only free cabin piece. Confirm sizes on condor.com before you fly.
Weight: Condor’s Handgepäck tables publish total cabin weights (8, 10 or 16 kg). Some English fare descriptions also give a personal-item max of 6 kg. Your fare’s total cabin weight is the limit to follow.

There is no paid upgrade that enlarges this small bag. Extra spend buys the Handgepäck trolley or hold bags, not a bigger kleine Tasche.
On Economy Zero, if you skip the trolley add-on, this is your only free cabin piece.
Gotchas
This is not the 55×40×23 trolley. On Zero, a full cabin suitcase needs an add-on or a higher fare.
Depth is 15 cm now (from May 1, 2026). Older guides that say 10 cm are out of date for current travel.
Soft bags expand. Measure packed.
Ryanair 40×30×20 is not Condor. Different free bag.
easyJet 45×36×20 is not Condor.
Total weight still applies. The small bag counts toward your fare’s cabin kg. Some English fare descriptions list an optional 6 kg personal-item limit beside the 8, 10 or 16 kg Handgepäck totals; weigh to the published fare total.
Exit rows and Business: you may need the overhead for all pieces during taxi, take-off, and landing.
Overhead bin reservation does not create a second free trolley beyond fare rights.
Infants under 2 do not get the adult Handgepäck allowance.
Failing the gate check means the bag goes in the hold plus the zone Handgepäck excess charge (€75 or €100).
Traveler caution: On Economy Zero, the free bag is the small one: 40 by 30 by 15 under the seat. If it only fits the overhead, you need a Handgepäck add-on or a higher fare. Confirm on condor.com before you fly.
