Frequently Asked Questions

What is the most common carry-on size?

Choose a carry-on bag no larger than 22 x 14 x 9 inches, including wheels and handles. This size is accepted by most major U.S. airlines and many international carriers, making it the safest choice for travelers who fly different airlines throughout the year.

Always verify baggage requirements with your airline before departure, as policies may vary.

What about personal items?

Most airlines allow one carry-on bag and one personal item, such as a purse, backpack, laptop bag, or small tote, that fits under the seat in front of you. Always verify baggage requirements with your airline before departure, as policies may vary.

What if my cruise itinerary includes a flight?

If your cruise itinerary includes flights, select a carry-on that meets the requirements of the most restrictive airline on your itinerary. This can help avoid unexpected gate-check fees, delays, and repacking during connections or pre- and post-cruise travel.
