Carry-On Guide
This chart is a guide only. The FAA has limited passengers flying within the United States (including international flights going to and from the United States) to one carry-on and one personal item, which includes: purses, briefcases, laptops and small backpacks. In addition to one carry-on and one personal item, passengers may bring onboard a coat, umbrella, book or newspaper, small bag of food and devices such as wheelchairs and walkers. Persons traveling with children can also bring on strollers, safety seats and diaper bags. On crowded flights, you may be asked to relinquish some or all of your carry-ons. Some airlines have different rules for various destinations outside the United States, types of aircraft or passenger classes. Contact the airline for current information. Something to consider: some airlines (like Midwest Express) will not allow you to bring on a carry-on if you checked three bags. All sizes and weights below are approximations. Remember: if your carry-on has wheels, the wheels are included in its size.       Updated!  January 16, 2003
