Question
Is there any restriction on the size, shape or material of briefcase?

Answer
Dear Salman,

Normally the briefcase size must be fit in the the baggage sizer pannels that are placed on check-in areas. If a particular airline does not have such pannels, the second restriction is the size of the x-ray machine at the security area. Also you can check airlines websites at the carry-on baggage section.

There are no restrictions on the shape or material (except that must be non-flammable).

Best Regards,
R.Gomes
