Things to ask yourself when considering what size cabin are:

  • Even if I can fit (passengers & bags), do I mind a fuel stop on a longer flight?
  • Do I want a stand-up cabin? Am I willing to pay for a stand-up cabin?
  • There are specific models in each cabin size that better support traveling with additional bags. Will you be traveling light or heavy?
