In addition to checked bags, hand luggage has rules that need to be adhered to. Understand which ones to embark on without a headache!

Not long ago, major changes affected passengers throughout Brazil. ANAC changed baggage regulations and airlines began charging for bags on domestic flights.

With this, many people prioritized carry-on luggage when traveling. Thus, it would not be necessary to have another expense on boarding. But these luggage also have regulations, which are thoroughly checked by the airlines.

To make your flight easier, we explain what your carry-on luggage needs to have to fly smoothly. Here we go?

Hand luggage or personal item?

In addition to checked and carry-on luggage, airlines characterize some items as personal items.

It is important to understand that personal item is not a carry-on bag. These are personal items such as handbags, notebooks, tablets or bags from stores bought inside the departure lounge.

Be careful not to overdo it! When we talk about scholarships, it’s not the typical gym grants. They get into the carry-on part.

Standard measures and sizes of handbags

Valid for BLUE, GOL and LATAM, the standard luggage size measures 55 inches high, 35 inches wide and 25 inches deep. This limit counts the wheels, side handles and handle. So redouble your attention!

The demands are not just on baggage size. The companies also check the weight of the bags, which can not exceed 10 pounds.

How is the inspection done?

Even before the x-ray that takes passengers to the departure lounge, a standard check is made to see if carry-on luggage meets the limits imposed by the airlines.

It is made through a standard company box by inserting the bags in this box to beat the measurements. If the suitcase fits, you can pass normally.
