A small item is something carried outside of your main item and is capable of fitting under the seat in front of you. Show Common small items include:
Avoid fees at the airportWe monitor carry-on baggage at the airport and fees apply if you exceed your allowance. Extra items may also need to be checked in. If you know you're likely to go over your allowance, it's cheaper to purchase extra baggage online before you arrive at the airport. You can do this when you book or at Manage booking. Dangerous goodsSome items are prohibited as carry-on baggage so make sure you remove restricted items and don’t forget to check liquids, aerosols, gels and powders if you are flying from an international terminal. Travelling with medicationIf you need to bring essential medication on your flight, please check our travelling with medication requirements. Travelling with infants and childrenOn all flights you can bring an approved car seat on board for your infant or child to sit in, in addition to your other carry-on items, free of charge. If your stroller collapses to our carry-on baggage dimensions (56cm x 23cm x 36cm) and it’s securely packed within a protective cover/bag, then it can be carried on board most Jetstar flights. It will count towards your carry-on baggage allowance. Since carry-on baggage comes in all shapes and sizes, measurement restrictions vary by airline. But don't worry – they don't vary so much that you'll need to buy a different carry-on bag for each airline. Is there a weight limit for carry-on bags? Yes, sometimes carry-on luggage size restrictions may include weight limitations. Most major airlines do not impose weight rules, however. Carry-on vs. personal item: What's the difference? Most airlines allow economy passengers to bring one carry-on and one personal item – such as a briefcase, purse, laptop bag or small backpack – at no extra cost. A carry-on bag is typically stored in a plane's overhead bin, while a personal item should go under the seat in front of you. There often aren't any size restrictions for a personal item, save for on budget airlines. Speaking of budget carriers, many of them (such as Spirit, Frontier and Ryanair) only allow a single personal item free of charge, forcing customers to check – and pay for – all other luggage. Some nonbudget airlines also have a similar rule on their cheapest fares, such as basic economy on United or the Blue Basic fares on JetBlue. Can I use a duffel bag as a carry-on? Yes, a duffel bag can be used as a carry-on provided it meets airline size restrictions. Garment bags and, on some airlines, pet carriers are also considered carry-on luggage. Is a diaper bag considered a carry-on? What about other baby items? Baby items such as diaper bags, FAA-approved child safety seats and travel strollers generally don't count toward hand baggage allowances and can be brought on the plane in addition to your carry-on bag and personal item. Do assistive devices count toward carry-on allowances? Mobility aids (such as canes or walkers) typically don't count toward carry-on luggage or personal item allowances, though they may be considered a personal item on some airlines. Let’s be honest, finding the right carry-on to bring on your trip can get stressful. Many of us have surely encountered a scenario where last minute before our trip we debate whether our carry-on luggage might be too big to bring on board, but we still decide to bring it. We get to the airport and stand on the check in line fearing our carry-on luggage might be too big and hoping the airline staff will go easy on us and let us bring it on board regardless. But, for safety purposes and for your peace of mind, you should refer to the official carry-on allowance policies before your flight’s departure. Every airline has their own rules and trying to search for the information on maximum size/weight of carry on allowance can get time consuming. At Briggs & Riley, we like our trips to be as stress-free as possible, so we want to make it easy for you! We put together a list of size and weight allowance of each airline you can refer to when packing your hard shell or soft shell suitcase for your next trip. Please note that airline carry-on allowance policies and guidelines are subject to momentary changes and based on Economy standards. For the most up-to-date information, please check your airline’s website prior to departure.
