Allegiant Air Carry On Baggage?
I can give you an exact answer. They will notice what you have, but your personal item can be relatively big. See exact measurements and instructions below: "Cabin Bags In accordance with FAA/TSA Security Directives, each passenger is limited to 2 bags in the cabin: One (1) personal item and one (1) carry-on bag. One (1) personal item, such as a purse, briefcase, laptop computer, small backpack, small camera or food container, not to exceed exterior measurements of: 7 in. H x 15 in. W x 16 in. D (17.8 cm x 38.1 cm x 40.6 cm) and the item must be stored completely underneath the seat in front of you. There is no charge for one personal item, provided it does not exceed size requirements. $0.00 One (1) carry-on bag such as a roll-aboard bag, garment bag, or tote bag, not to exceed exterior measurements of: 9 in. H x 14 in. W x 22 in. D (22.9 cm x 35.6 cm x 55.9 cm) The fee for a carry-on bag ranges from $10 to $35 if booked in advance, and will be $35 to $75 if purchased at the airport. (Please see baggage fee table below.) $10.00 to $75.00 Please measure your bags carefully. All exterior measurements include wheels, pockets, handles and decorations." In addition to this you may wear a coat, carry something to read and something to eat. If you pack smart you should be able to carry on most everything you need for a month's time.
I've never flown before. What are some things to expect?
Great questions to ask ahead of time! I'm not sure where you are flying from, but I'll answer your questions based on United States regulations. 1. Yes, bring any snack you want with you. 2. No, you cannot bring a bottle of water (or any other beverage) with you through security. You may buy water after you clear security from a vendor/restaurant in the airport and take that with you on the plane. 3. Depends on how long the flight is. Most US airlines serve water, coffee, soft drinks, and a snack mix free of charge. There are other snack boxes available for purchase on flights longer than 2-3 hours, but I don't find anything in those boxes to be either healthy or satisfying. Some longer flights do have sandwiches available for purchase. If you are on an international flight, you'll get real meals. Most things you can buy on the airplane cost around $5. I don't think it's worth it - I'd recommend buying food at the airport (after you clear security) and take it with you on the plane. 4. Full size bottles? No. The largest bottle/tube size you may carry on is 3 oz (not very big!), and every liquid or gel you take onboard must fit into a single, 1 quart sized resealable bag (and yes, you must be able to seal it. See http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/p... and make sure you understand it before leaving for the airport! 5. See the link in #4. 6. Yes, no problem! (if you're talking about pills. Liquids or gels fall under the same requirements of #4 above.) 7. No problem there either! Again, great questions. I commend you for asking before your trip. I've seen way too many people in shock trying to get an entire suitcase full of cosmetics through security (they either need to throw it away, check the bag, or don't fly).
Well if your bag looks heavy then they may weigh it.I recently had an experience of carrying extra cabin luggage and not just few kilos but 8 kg extra making the entire luggage touch the 30kg mark.I carried everything from induction cooktop to sauce pan, 3L steel container, other steel utensils, lot of clothes,leather shoes, slippers, laptop, books and other miscellaneous items.So I started packing my luggage 2days before my journey. I weighed it before moving to airport 2–3 times in a couple of days. Since they always weigh checkin hence it was just maintained at 15 kg and other heavy items were kept in 2backpacks. They became very heavy after packing.At airport, i had to take out my jacket to make it exact 15kg or a little less. Things worked and at the time of check-in it was 14.7 kg. I took one backpack along with me and left other with one of the passenger sitting at the airport ( while i was dropping my baggage).Had i carried all three to the counter, she would have surely asked me to weigh them as they looked bulky. But things settled fine i was given my boarding pass.After that during security pass they again checked my bag coz it had a lot of steel and metal objects. Till the time you are quick and at ease with your extra buggage it wont be a problem. He enquired about those utensils and let me go.Also at the time of boarding i was holding one in my hands and other on back. Fortunately i passed boarding check also and finally sat at my seat in the plane.Usually I don't carry enough weight while travelling but this time i had to, due to some reasons.Before getting at the airport i read a lot as to how can i escape with extra baggage without paying extra. They charge Rs. 1450 for 5kg extra and that is a lot considering i booked my flight around Holi.So in future try to be within limits but if you cannot, do something that makes an experience. Good or bad only time will tell.
I was going through security at the airport in Athens, Greece, a couple of years ago when the agent asked me if I had a bottle in my carry-on. I wasn’t aware of one, so my bag was opened. Instant embarrassment when I realized that I’d accidentally packed a souvenir in carry-on that I definitely intended to put in my checked luggage. I’d picked up a bottle of liquor at a souvenir shop at Corinth. I didn’t care about the contents, it was the bottle I wanted. If you’ve been there, you know what I had. It was…well…let’s just call it risque. When I realized what I’d done, I told the agent he was welcome to pour out the liquid, and that I just wanted the bottle. He unwrapped the bubblewrap, inspected it carefully (I don’t recall if others were watching!), noticed that it was still sealed, and asked me how much was in the bottle. It was clearly over the limit, but again I encouraged him to pour it out. Unbelievably, he let it go through as-is.I’ve been a lot more careful packing my souvenirs since then…
Carry on luggage??
united gave you some great advice, right on the money! he answered your question, but since you are a first timer, i would like to offer some advice. don't be nervous, be sure to have all your important info handy. know where you put your ticket, photo id, passport(if needed), etc. that really helps the process. also, you are flying continental, they are the only airline i fly. i have traveled with them for years and never had a problem. they are a great airline. it is likely they will serve you something to drink and eat, either a snack or a meal depending on the length of your flight. they still give out blankets and pillows and you may be able to take in a movie. on all of my flights, they have given us headphones for free. try to relax, and since its your 1st time, you may want to opt for a window seat. its up to you. its nice to look out at the world. some don't agree so its up to you. also, while you wait, bring something to keep you busy, buying something at the airport will be expensive. i went to buy a mag and it was $9.99 in the gift shop. this goes for food and drinks too, if you think you may need a snack or something, buy before hand. and always keep an eye out for your things. and give yourself plenty of time for security check points and stuff. some say 1 hour before while others say 2 hours before your flight leaves is the time to get there. security can take a little extra time depending a few factors: time of day, flow of people, etc. i once saw a lady who had to take everything out of her suitcase as they went through piece by piece. she kept saying she was going to be late, but they didn't seem to care. it happens. make sure you give all your info to the person who is picking you up prior to. also, its a good idea to keep your cell handy, the minute you land and its safe to turn it on, call your ride and tell them. since you have your bags with you, you'll save on time. and most importantly, relax and try to enjoy yourself. you will probably find a few people to talk with if you want, but if not, thats fine too! enjoy your trip and be safe! best of luck!
Packing Tips and Tricks That Will Change Your Life1. Roll Your ClothesInstead of folding your clothes roll this for faster packing and maximizing your space. Only fold your delicate and easily wrinkles clothes.2. Cover Your FootwearNo one wants his or her dirty shoes (Or foot smell) on his or her clean clothes. Keep your shoes off your clothes by placing them in a bag or a shower cap.3. Try Two for OnePack two tops for every bottom. You are much more likely to re-wear a pair of pants then a top. So avoid over packing and pack two different tops for every bottom. This holiday season packs a light and dark pair of denim jeans to go with any occasion.4. Inside OutAnother great way to avoid wrinkles and prevent statins is to pack your clothes inside out. This way if there is any debris or dirt in your bag your clothes will be safe.5. Heavy Items on BottomPack all of your heaviest items closest to the wheels of your bag. When you are packing a rolling bag, you must consider how your items will react to that position and motion. The number one rule for keeping everything in place and keeping it upright without holding it is keeping all heavy items near the wheels, so the weight is evenly distributed.6. Laundry FreshnessDon’t you just love the smell of fresh laundry out of the dryer? Well, this holiday travel season pack a few dryer sheet in the bottom and top of your suitcase. This will keep your clothes smelling clean like they came fresh out of the dryer.For the full list click here: Packing Tips and Tricks That Will Change Your LifeI hope you found this helpful :)
Some great advice from other answers, but in essence:-Know the rules - weights allowed, size of bags etcGet a super lightweight case (costlier to buy make will save a few kgs each time)Sign up/get status in the airline loyalty program (which could allow more weight or an additional carry on)Be super-strong, and learn how to lift your carry on without showing the strain on your face. I've taken 17kg onboard in a rucksack many times knowing the airlines I used hardly checked. Book with a better airline, the more 'no frills' airlines are ruthless at checking sizes and weights to gain extra revenue. Emirates give a whopping 30kg on most flights whilst others are still offering a measly 20-23kg If after packing as lightly as possible, you are still over the limit, check online and pre-purchase excess baggage at a discount. Budget on $20 per kg as a rule of thumb, and know most airlines will have upper limits. I've managed to get 35kg in some cases with Etihad on a business class redemption. Fly at a higher level of fare code, not just Premium Economy, Business or First, but sometimes airlines allow you pay a higher fare code and get increased baggage allowance (eg. Saver or flex)Good luck !
The other answers are all good, but I'd like to add another factor.Airlines are required to pressurize the cabin for passenger comfort and safety. By law, they can't go above 8000 ft apparent altitude And most airlines hold it to much less than that, averaging around 6000 ft.In contrast, cargo holds may or may not be pressurized. Even in pressurized holds, the pressure can be less than the cabin. This limit is about 3000 m. (10,000 ft) Unpressurized cargo holds are in aircraft limited to about 10,000 m.The pressure at sea level is 14.7 psi. At 10000 ft it's about 10.1 psi. At 10000 m it's less than 4.36 psi.Batteries are sealed and cannot equalize the inside and outside pressure. So the pressure on the battery is 0 at sea level, 4.6 psi at 10000 ft and 10.3 psi at 10000 m.Assume your battery is, say, 2 inches wide by 6 inches long by 1 inch thick. That means the biggest sides have an area of 12 square inches and will see pressures of 55.2 pounds and 123.6 pounds respectively.Battery cases are tough and can probably take it; at 10000 ft at least. But if the battery is defective, it may already be under pressure. Often, the first sign of a defective battery is a bulging case. In that event, the lowered pressure may be enough to rupture the contents.
What size hand luggage can you take on low cost airlines?
I've just flown with Ryanair this morning. I bought a trolley case a few years ago which is 'cabin size' ie. the dimentions are standard for all airlines. For the first time this morning, I noticed that some people at check-in were actually being told to have their hand luggage weighed although it didn't necessarily look big/heavy. In my experience, I've seen people with far bigger bags than mine and they've got through, so it really depends who's checking on the day. I would suggest buying a 'cabin size' bag, and that way you'll never have to worry about being overweight (as it's quite difficult to go over 10kilos without regular size toiletries), and if its got pockets in the front, it's useful for stuffing in extra items.
Never flown them but heard they are VERY strict. That how they make most of there money.The Knapsack if it fits under the seat infront of you will be “Free” (18"x14"x8″)The Small Carry has a charge for it.https://www.spirit.com/OptionalS...
