Baggage Allowances on Flights

Regardless of where you're going, you’ll want to make sure what you’re bringing isn’t more than what’s allowed. Here are the rules.

Carry-on Baggage

You can carry on one bag plus one personal item per passenger as long as it:

• Weighs less than 8 kilos.
• Does not exceed 45 inches when you total length plus width plus height.
• Fits in an overhead bin or underneath the seat in front of you.

Here are some examples of personal items:

• Male or female purse
• Briefcase
• Laptop computer (All laptop/computers must be carried aboard and cannot be checked)
• Camera case
• Diaper bag
• Items of a similar or smaller size to those listed above, such as Portable Electronic Devices.

These additional items are okay to carry on and don't count towards your allowance:

• Food items for immediate consumption
• Assistive devices such as wheelchairs or crutches, provided passenger is dependent on them
• One box or bag of duty free merchandise
• A coat or jacket
• An umbrella
• One item of reading material

There may be more limits to carry-on baggage based on available space and additional restrictions on certain flights.

Each bag must:

• Weigh 20 kilos or less.
