Can I bring a carry-on bag + a coat on board?
amin bram
Yes, a coat can be brought on board in addition to a carry-on bag without being counted as an extra piece of luggage. Airlines consider a coat to be worn clothing, just like a scarf or a jacket. It is therefore not part of your baggage allowance, as long as it remains worn or carried by hand in a reasonable manner.
This allowance applies to the vast majority of airlines, including low-cost carriers. However, the coat should not be used to circumvent baggage rules.
