Question
Can you tell me the size allowed for carry-ons aboard a flight? Also are there rules stating whether you can or cannot bring snacks and non-alcoholic drinks on board?
Dear Melanie,
Carry-on bag dimensions should not be more than 9" x 14" x 22" (length + width + height) or 45 linear inches (the length, height and width added together).
As far as snacks and beverages, you can bring snacks on board, but beverages must be purchased after you pass through the security checkpoints.
Best Regards,
R. Gomes
