1 carry-on up to 53×38×23 cm, no weight limit. Sized to fit Embraer E195-E2 overhead bins, which are smaller than wide-body aircraft.

How to use this policy

Start with the cabin bag row, then check the weight and personal-item rows separately. A bag has to pass every published limit at once; being under the length and width limit does not help if the depth, weight, or fare-specific allowance is tighter.
