The safety of passengers is the key concern of airline operators around the
world. Evidence shows that excessive cabin baggage can increase the chances of
accidents occurring on board the plane.
Cabin Baggage Allowance
Under this regulation each passenger will be allowed the following: Quantity :
1 piece* Dimension : Length + Breadth + Height (including protrusions) must not
exceed 115cm (46 inches) in total subject to storability Weight : Up to 7 kgs
*First and Business Class passengers may be allowed two items, subject to
specific aircraft cabin space and stowage availability.
Safety & Comfort
Keeping within the allowance specified in the Cabin Baggage Regulation ensures
that exits are less likely to be blocked, thus allowing swift and safe
evacuation in an emergency; all cabin bags can be safely stowed in the overhead
lockers.
In addition, it will mean sufficient baggage space in the overhead locker or
under the seat regardless of passengers' boarding sequence; a clutter-free
cabin for easier movement by passengers and more efficient service by crew;
faster boarding for on-time departure and smoother disembarking on arrival.
Other Items Allowed
In addition to the allowable baggage defined in the Cabin Baggage Regulation,
other items allowed, subject to space availability, are: laptop computer,
lady's handbag, overcoat, crutches/walking stick, reasonable amount of reading
material, Infant's food/carrying basket, fully collapsible baby stroller (with
traveling baby), umbrella small camera
Before your flight...
Please ensure that the quantity, weight and dimension of your cabin baggage
meet with the regulations as excess cabin baggage will not be allowed in the
aircraft cabin.
Cabin baggage gauges are normally conveniently positioned near the check-in
counters at the airport. We strongly advise that you use the gauge to ensure
your cabin baggage meets with the requirement.
Should your cabin baggage exceed the allowed limits, personnel at the
Departure/Transit Hall may have to refer you back to the airline staff at the
check-in counter. This will result in unnecessary personal inconvenience. We
urge you, therefore, to comply with this regulation. Please note also that
bulky items purchased from shops in the transit area will not be allowed in the
cabin.
