Planning
a trip?
Thinking about carrying-on your luggage?
If so, here are a few tips for you:
Think
Small...
- The
maximum size carry-on bag for most airlines is 45
linear inches (the total of the height, width, and
depth of the bag). Anything larger should be checked.
- No
oversize packages or luggage can be stowed onboard.
Think
Smart...
- Plan
to check more of your baggage and carry-on less.
- Check
with your airline before packing to determine its
carry-on guidelines regarding the number of items
you may carryon and the maximum size of those items.
- In
certain situations the airline may require most or
even all of your bags to be checked, so be prepared
to do so.
Think
Safe...
- Carry-on
items which may fall from overhead bins can injure
you or other passengers during flight or in the event
of an emergency evacuation.
- Stow
heavy items under the seat in front of you, not overhead.
- Don't
stack items in the overhead storage bin.
- If
an emergency evacuation is necessary, leave your carry-on
items on the plane. Retrieving personal items may
impede the safe evacuation of passengers.
- Remember,
be safety conscious when stowing your carry-on items.
Have
a Question?
- Call
your airline or visit its web site.
- Check
with your travel agent.
