By\u00a0Kaitlyn McInnis | CNN Underscored<\/a> | Updated 11:36 AM EDT, Mon September 19, 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\n Packing<\/a>\u00a0for a trip can be a daunting experience. You want to streamline your stuff so as to travel light, but you also don\u2019t want to be so bare-bones that you wind up shopping for the essentials you forgot when you should be enjoying your trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Maximizing your carry-on baggage<\/a> allowance is a great way to ensure you\u2019re packing light without skimping on the things you actually need, but you\u2019ll want to ensure you\u2019re packing items that won\u2019t get you held up at the TSA security checkpoint. There are certain TSA carry-on rules and regulations you\u2019ll want to be aware of when packing your carry-on bag<\/a>, such as how much liquid you can actually <\/em>bring on board or if your disposable razor is allowed through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re hoping to optimize the way you pack your hand\u00a0luggage<\/a>, you\u2019ll want to read on. We\u2019ve outlined everything you need to know about what\u2019s allowed in a carry-on bag \u2014 and the\u00a0best carry-ons<\/a>\u00a0to consider for your next trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Carry-on luggage<\/a>\u00a0ranges in styles and sizes \u2014 from\u00a0hard-shelled spinners<\/a>\u00a0to soft-sided\u00a0weekender bags<\/a>\u00a0and even\u00a0travel backpacks<\/a>. But the bag will need to fit the size regulations of your airline. In fact, carry-on allowance isn\u2019t determined by the TSA but instead by individual airlines. Generally speaking, most airlines implement a maximum size policy of 22 inches by 14 inches by 9 inches, including wheels and handles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your baggage allowance could also depend on your ticket type. Some basic economy tickets only allow for a personal item, such as a purse, rather than a piece of carry-on luggage. When it comes to the weight of the bag, you\u2019ll want to ensure you can comfortably lift your carry-on up and into the overhead compartment efficiently. However, some airlines \u2014 particularly budget carriers \u2014 limit how much a bag can weigh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ultimately, if you\u2019re planning to bring a carry-on bag on board, be sure to check your airline\u2019s policies. Once you\u2019ve determined your carry-on baggage allowance, you\u2019ll then need to pack it with items that are permitted by the TSA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Click here for the rest of the story…<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Maximizing your\u00a0carry-on baggage\u00a0allowance is a great way to ensure you\u2019re packing light without skimping on the things you actually need, but you\u2019ll want to ensure you\u2019re packing items that won\u2019t get you held up at the TSA security checkpoint. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":12084,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16,1,349,2],"tags":[15,2101,31,71,62,2102],"class_list":["post-12083","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business-blog","category-insurance","category-recreational-insurance","category-shield-blog","tag-business","tag-carry-on-bag","tag-commercial-insurance","tag-michigan","tag-shield-insurance-agency","tag-tsa"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shieldagency.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12083","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shieldagency.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shieldagency.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shieldagency.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shieldagency.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12083"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.shieldagency.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12083\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12085,"href":"https:\/\/www.shieldagency.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12083\/revisions\/12085"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shieldagency.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12084"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shieldagency.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12083"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shieldagency.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12083"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shieldagency.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12083"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}What is a carry-on bag?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
