What is considered carry-on baggage?
amin bram
Carry-on baggage refers to any luggage you are permitted to take with you on board the plane, without checking it in, and which can be stowed either in the overhead bin or under the seat in front of you. What matters is not the type of baggage, but its dimensions, weight, and location in the cabin.
Airlines therefore do not judge the shape (suitcase, bag, backpack), but only compliance with cabin rules set out in their conditions of carriage.
What is accepted as cabin baggage on a plane
- A carry-on suitcase meeting the maximum permitted dimensions
- A travel bag or backpack that complies with the cabin format
- A personal item (small bag, handbag, laptop) placed under the seat
- The baggage must be manageable by the passenger
- Dimensions always include handles, pockets, and wheels
- Carry-on baggage may be free or fee-based depending on the airline and the ticket

Is a personal bag also carry-on baggage?
Yes, but it is a sub-format of carry-on baggage, generally smaller and placed under the seat.

That depends on the airline. Most allow one main carry-on bag and sometimes a personal item, subject to conditions.
