CARRY-ON BAGGAGE


Provision of Information


Through international and local regulations, airlines are required to provide passengers with information regarding the size, amount and weight of checked and carry-on baggage allowed on the aircraft. In keeping with regulations, each airline publishes its baggage policies after establishing the maximum dimensions and number of articles or combination of articles that can be safely stowed on board by each passenger.

Checked and carry-on baggage information is usually provided either on the passenger ticket, or as a brochure included with the passenger ticket. Before traveling, passengers can obtain additional information from the airline's reservation department.

Carry-on baggage is considered to be any item taken into the aircraft cabin by a passenger. These include:


A carry-on tote or roller-board bag
Garment bag
Lap-top computer
Attaché case
Lady's handbag
Duty free items
Baby bag
Cameras/binoculars
Video recorders
Coats/wraps
Canes/Crutches.
