Carry On Luggage Restrictions And Rules - Time Saving Tips


Category: Carry on luggage restrictions

For air travelers, the size restriction is the first thing to consider.
Though most airlines have a standard norm, you cannot take this for granted. Checking with your travel agent or the carrier's representative well ahead of your departure time is always safe and convenient. Most airlines give detailed guidelines on carry on luggage on their website too. Before we discuss other aspects of carry on luggage and the restrictions governing them, the following hand picked web links will help you enhance your knowledge.

Keep yourself updated

The transportation Security Administration web site is your best source to keep yourself updated on the restrictions that apply to carry on luggage, irrespective of the carrier. On international flights these regulations are more stringent compared to the domestic flights. A recent regulation on carrying liquids in your carry on luggage is a case in point. This was a need based regulation that came in so suddenly but took enough time to get back to normal times.

Your bag size

By far airlines adopt a uniform policy in stipulating the maximum size of the luggage that you can take in as carry on luggage. While there is a general guideline in force for all airlines on size of the carry on luggage, each carrier is at liberty to set their own limits. The best way to avoid an awkward situation and consequent loss of time is to choose the least size. In present times, a 21 inch luggage that is 14" wide and 9" deep is considered ideal to address the stipulation of almost every airline.

Content restrictions

Here again, there is a general list of items prohibited for carriage in your carry on bags and most travelers are aware of these regulations. However, understand that these regulations can change with a moment's notice. If you are carrying gifts of any description, never wrap them because you will be asked to unwrap them at the security. The best way to save time and embarrassment is to wrap them at the destination or better still, buy the gift at the destination.

And, when you are not certain whether a particular item is permitted or not, the best way is to leave them at home or put them in to your checked luggage, if you must. The web links below have more exhaustive information on carry on luggage restrictions.
