How to handle improperly sized carry-on luggage?
For overweight/oversized luggage
In case of carrying overweight/oversized carry-on luggage, passengers need to repack the luggage to comply with regulations or convert it to checked baggage.
When purchasing checked baggage at the airport, passengers will need to pay the luggage fee according to the regulations of each airline.
It's important to note that the fees for checked baggage purchased at the airport will be much higher than when pre-purchased. Therefore, if you plan to carry more carry-on luggage than allowed, you should pre-purchase additional checked baggage to save on this fee.
For luggage containing prohibited items
If your carry-on luggage contains prohibited items for air transport in any form, the airline may refuse to transport your luggage.
If your carry-on luggage contains items prohibited for cabin but can be checked or transported by cargo, you can switch those items to the appropriate transport method. In that case, you will pay the corresponding luggage check-in fee at the airport.
Carry-on luggage should be packed according to the airline's regulations.
Things to consider when carrying carry-on luggage on a flight
Here are some things passengers need to pay attention to when carrying carry-on luggage on a flight:
- Do not look after or transport anyone else's luggage onto the plane if you do not know them.
- Carry-on luggage must comply with requirements for weight, size, and permitted items to avoid being rejected by the airline.
- Carry-on luggage when brought onto the plane must be neatly stowed in the overhead luggage compartment or under the seat in front.
