Carry-on Articles Delta Air Lines Policies Delta Air Lines accepts one carry-on item per passenger, the approximate dimensions of the baggage (length + width + height) must not be greater than 45 inches per piece and weight must not exceed 40 lb. per piece. In addition, each passenger is allowed to carry on the following:
Purse A purse is a small item generally kept on the person at all times. The following items are not to be considered as purses:
Size Wise Unit Size Wise units are placed at ticket counters, boarding gates, and SkyCap stands to assist passengers and agents in determining whether luggage meets carry-on requirements. Items are required to easily fit in the sizer box, and therefore should not exceed 45 linear inches. Items that appear too large should be verified at the sizer and checked if exceeding the size limit. Note: Due to their fragility, laptop computers will not be checked as baggage unless they are packed in the original factory-sealed container. If a passenger is carrying three bags and a laptop is one of the bags, it will be necessary to check one of the other bags and carry the laptop. FAA regulations specify that each article of baggage carried on board an aircraft must be properly stowed prior to surface movement, take-off, and landing of that aircraft. Gift-wrapped Packages Carry-on articles including Christmas or other gift-wrapped packages are subject to security check and/or x-ray inspection. If a package fails the x-ray test, it will be unwrapped and its contents inspected. To avoid delays passengers should be advised to check their packages as baggage. Child Restraint Seats Child restraint seats will be counted as part of the adult's carry-on allowance, unless a ticket has been purchased for the child/infant. Space permitting, an unoccupied passenger seat may be used for the restraint seat as a courtesy. If an empty seat is not available for the child restraint seat, it must be checked. In all cases, the restraint seat may be checked free of charge to the final destination. Baby Carrier/Car Seats The FAA has approved baby carrier car seats for use aboard commercial aircraft. Current information on these seats and their use can be found at Infant Car Seats. Carry-on Rules for Delta Air Lines Connection Carriers The following table lists the Delta Air Lines connection carriers and their carry-on article policies.
The following table lists the baggage compartment dimensions for each carrier and aircraft type.
The normal carry-on baggage limitation is two articles that fit beneath the seat, in an overhead bin, or in an approved stowage location. Additional items may be accepted on selected flights, space permitting. Carry-on baggage will be scanned visually at ticket and gate check-in counters and airplane entry points to determine that it meets carry-on size and limitations described within this policy. Ticket and gate agents or other Delta Air Lines personnel lifting tickets for the flight may refuse any carry-on bags which do not meet these requirements or which cannot be safely stowed in the passenger cabin. For operations at facilities not normally used by Delta Air Lines or staffed with Delta Air Lines ground personnel, the captain and/or On-Board Leader (flight attendant in charge) will determine the appropriate scanning point and procedures. Personnel assigned to lift tickets routinely will be assigned the responsibility of scanning. Note: Delta Air Lines gate or flight personnel may further limit carry-on baggage based on available on-board stowage space. Approximate limiting dimensions of these areas are:
Carry-on items which appreciably exceed an individual dimension or whose cumulative total (weight + height + length) is perceptibly in excess of the cumulative totals will not be accepted. Most bins, closets, and luggage stowage racks will reach their volume limits before reaching weight limits. However, each has placarded weight limitations and attention must be paid to ensure that excessively heavy items are not loaded in such areas. Information on the contents of this carry-on baggage program will be provided to passengers by any of the following methods:
Proper Stowage of Carry-on Baggage and Cargo in the Cabin The On-Board Leader (flight attendant in charge) is responsible for ensuring the proper stowage of all carry-on baggage. Carry-on items that cannot be stowed must be delivered to the ground operations agent to be processed as checked baggage. The volume of carry-on items will likely exceed stowage capacity well before floor or compartment limitations are approached. Care must be taken to observe the loading of compartments to identify particularly heavy items. Overhead compartments must have items stowed to permit easy closing of the compartment door. Removal of items to other areas or re-stowage within the compartment may be necessary to achieve this. The On-Board Leader will ensure that each overhead bin, enclosed closet, or luggage stowage rack is latched securely prior to takeoff and landing of the aircraft. Carry-on baggage may not be stowed in any area where carriage interferes with crew access to emergency equipment or blocks passenger view of required ordinance signs. The On-Board Leader has the responsibility of verifying that each article of carry-on baggage is stowed in an approved stowage area prior to final entry-door closing. The passenger door to the aircraft may not be closed until the gate agent has verified with a flight attendant that all carry-on baggage has been stowed. Weight Assessment of Carry-on Baggage Delta Air Lines will use appropriate weight guidelines for carry-on baggage to achieve an accurate assessment of actual cabin payload. Weight and balance guidelines will be reviewed on a periodic basis to determine their validity. Underseat Baggage Baggage stowed under a seat should not infringe upon the leg room of another passenger. Therefore, such baggage should be placed under the seat immediately in front of the seat which the passenger occupies. Passengers seated in the forward row of seats of a compartment facing a bulkhead should stow their bags under a seat in front of an empty seat or under the rear seat of a compartment. Encourage passengers with carry-on baggage to select other than bulkhead seats or seats near emergency and door exits since there is no underseat baggage stowage available for passengers sitting in those seats. Garment Bags Counter agents will encourage passengers to check large garment bags (those with more than two or three suits or the equivalent). Otherwise garment bags may be carried aboard any aircraft until such time as stowage space is filled to capacity. Once the number of garment bags reaches the capacity of the coat closet and no other approved stowage space or overhead bin is available the gate agent or flight attendant must advise remaining passengers that their garment bags must be checked. Strollers Collapsible strollers may be stored in an enclosed overhead bin or at a window seat or on the floor and placed as far forward as possible under the seat in front of the passenger. Strollers that will not collapse so as to comply with the preceding must be checked. At the passenger's request the stroller may be delivered to the passenger in the arrival gate area. The agent who checks the stroller will use a gate claim baggage tag and send an on-board message to the affected station expressing the need to deliver the stroller to the gate area and advising that the stroller has cleared security. Canes and Crutches Crutches must be stored lengthwise against the fuselage wall at a window seat except at emergency exits. Walking canes or the cane of a visually impaired person should be stowed in one of the following locations:
Dry Ice Shipments containing 4.0 lb. or less of dry ice may be carried in the cabin of the aircraft. Dry ice in quantities not exceeding 2 kg/4.0 lb. per passenger when used to pack perishables in carry-on baggage is exempt from all paperwork and package labeling requirements. Miscellaneous Live Aquatic Animals/Rare Insects Certain types of live aquatic animals, tropical fish, hermit crabs, lobsters, etc. may be accepted as carry-on baggage provided they meet government requirements, if applicable, and are packed in sturdy leak-proof, escape-proof, and odor-proof containers which will fit under a passenger seat. Certain types of rare but not dangerous insects, such as specimens of tropical butterflies stored in sturdy escape-proof containers, may be accepted provided the containers will fit under a passenger seat. Other types of animals, fish, and insects are not acceptable as carry-on items such as lizards, mice, spiders, snakes, frogs, etc. Carry-on Baggage Limitations Domestic: Delta accepts a maximum of two checked baggage items free of charge for each ticketed passenger, in addition to one carry-on bag, plus one personal item. Delta's codeshare partners may have different guidelines and additional restrictions may apply on certain flights*.
*Customers traveling to or from Key West, Florida are limited to 1 checked bag. International: Delta accepts a maximum of two checked baggage items free of charge for each ticketed passenger, in addition to the one carry-on, plus one personal item.
Note: Luggage carts count toward your bag allowance. |
