Carry-on baggage includes cabin baggage, personal items, travel gadgets and special items. All carry-on baggage should meet the size, weight, quota, and acceptance regulations. All carry-on baggage must comply with the carry-on baggage dimension and weight limits and be stored properly. Additionally, due to limited cabin space, if carried cabin baggage cannot be properly stowed inside the cabin, it must proceed as checked baggage.
Please Note:
