About airplane carry-on luggage?

Question

How many bags are you allowed to carry-on? I'm really new to air travel. My mom said I was allowed to have 2, but I'm not really sure. I was planning on taking a regular North Face backpack and a duffel bag.

That's the duffel bag I have.

Also, are there like certain size limits for carry ons? That's why I posted the link to my duffel bag.

Thanks

Answer 1

You are only allowed one, but if you have 2 small bags, they won't make an issue of it!

Answer 2

You are usually allowed to bring one plus one.  Meaning you can carry-on a luggage item up to 45 linear inches (height + length + width) to fit over head.  Then you should be able to bring on another bag that can fit under the seat, like a back pack.  

Double check with your airline though just because they are all different.

Answer 3

You can usually bring 2 carry on' on a flight.  However, for some destinations, you are only allowed to bring one, so I would recommend checking with your airline or travel agent.  Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Answer 4

Depend on airline



You need to be aware of these rules, or else the next time you hoose a size or two smaller than the maximum allowable domestic sizes.

If your flight is on a really small plane, you might find that your luggage allowances for both checked and carry-on items are substantially reduced.  For example, some light aircraft operators limit passengers to 20lbs of luggage (both carry on and checked).

Answer 5

It really depends on the airline. It is normally 1 carry-on bag (which has to fit on the overhead bins, or at the front of your seat), and a personal item, such as a purse, or laptop computer.

Also, Spirit allows 1 carry on bag and a personal item, to correct the previous answer.
