CARRY-ON BAGGAGE |
Check-in ProceduresWhen checking in, passengers shall present their checked and carry-on baggage to the check-in agent. This will enable the agent to confirm that any carry-on item is of an acceptable size and weight for carriage in the aircraft cabin. |
Aircraft Approved Stowage AreasCarry-on baggage stowage areas on the aircraft have to meet regulatory standards that are approved by the regulatory authorities. It is essential that carry-on baggage be stowed in accordance with safety regulations. These are: |
 |
Under Seat Stowage - Heavier articles must be placed on the floor under the seat in front of each passenger. They must be pushed forward until they touch a bar that prevents the article from sliding forward or sideways, thus securing the article. |
|
Overhead Compartments - Overhead compartments are limited as to the size and weight of articles they can hold. Generally, smaller, lighter items should be placed in these compartments. This is to ensure passenger safety should the compartment inadvertently open in flight and articles fall out of them. |
|
Coatroom - On aircraft where these are provided, a maximum weight limit is also stipulated and approved for this stowage area. |
