As you hear more and more luggage getting lost or delayed in transit, many are choosing to travel with carry on luggage only. Traveling with carry on bag only is doable. However, it takes a little more planning and research prior to your travel.
In this article, we lay out the different carry on bag requirements from different major international airlines that fly from USA. These requirements are based on the basic economy fare and flying with a lap infant, not purchasing an additional seat for your child. We also include personal item requirements, weight restrictions, so you can find out at a glance the information you need.
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) states that the carry on allowance differs across different airlines. It also depends on as the cabin class you are traveling in as well as the size of the aircraft. However, as a general rule, carry on baggage should be within these dimensions of 22 x 18 x 10"/56 x 45 x 25cm. Be mindful that these dimensions include, wheels, handles and side pockets.
It is also interesting to note that, Transportation Security Administration (TSA) does not have regulations regarding the weight or even size of carry on baggage. It is up to the airlines to determine the size and weight restrictions.
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on the other hand, requires that carry on bags be stored in the overhead bin or under the passenger seat. In an instance where your carry on bag does not fit in the overhead compartment, it would have to be gate checked. According to the FAA, most airlines have a maximum carry on size of 45 linear inches (which is the total of the height, width and depth of the bag). For example, if the airline's limit is 22 x 14 x 9 inches, the total of the height, width and depth works out to be 45 linear inches. As an example, the TernX Carry On luggage stroller fits these dimensions perfectly.

Does a Breast Pump Bag Count Towards Carry On?
A breast pump is considered a medical device hence it doesn't count as a carry on item. Formula or breast milk is also exempt from the 3.4 ounce rule and does not need to fit within a quart sized bag. However, TSA officers will have to screen the formula or breast milk and may need to test the liquids for explosive. Note that screening will never include placing anything into medically necessary liquid.
Does a Stroller Count as Carry On?
Every airline have their own carry ons policies. All airlines have their own guidelines on a carry on luggage size. Some airlines have restriction on carry on weight whereas others don't. Hence, it is best to research the airlines before you book your ticket. Saying that, we made it easy and summarised a list of 86 airlines for your reference.
As a general rule of thumb, many airlines allow one stroller and one car seat to be allocated for every baby. It is free to check these items as checked bags. If you decide to bring your stroller on board as carry on, your stroller will count as on carry on. This is because there is limited space in the overhead compartment. Otherwise, by gate checking your stroller and having it in the hold, that will not count towards your carry on bags.
