Where to stow your carry-on baggage
Carry-on baggage must be placed underneath the seat in front of you whenever possible.
On flights that are very full, some hand baggage may need to be checked and carried in the hold due to the lack of space in the cabin. When this happens, the baggage will be checked at the boarding gate and can be collected at baggage reclaim carousel at your destination.
If is too big, or if you are seated in an emergency exit row or the first row of the cabin, the baggage should be placed in the overhead luggage bin.
Selfie sticks and electronic cigarettes can be transported in the cabin, but their use is strictly prohibited.
Some items cannot be transported in the cabin for security reasons. Please see the dangerous items section.
Liquids can only be transported in containers of 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) or less per item, up to a maximum total of 1 quart (1 liter) per passenger. These should be packed in a 1 quart (19 cm x 20 cm) clear plastic bag with an easy opening and closing system.
