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.
