When it comes to carry-on baggage allowance, each airline follows different policies and regulations. Here are the ins and outs of Hawaiian Airlines carry-on rules to know before your flight.
What is Hawaiian Airlines’ carry-on policy?
Hawaiian Airlines allows travelers to bring one carry-on bag and one personal item on its flights. Both items must not exceed the prescribed size requirements.
Carry-on bags should not exceed 9 x 14 x 22 inches (23 x 36 x 56 cm) and weigh more than 25 pounds (11 kg). To check if your luggage fits the size requirement of an airline, use KAYAK’s Bag Measurement tool in the KAYAK mobile app.
There are no specific dimensions for personal item size, but it should fit under the seat in front of you. Personal items include but are not limited to, briefcases, purses, small backpacks, and laptop bags.
What is Hawaiian Airlines’ policy on carry-on liquid?
According to the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), travelers may carry a quart-sized bag of liquids, aerosols, and gels through the checkpoint, provided that the liquid items are no bigger than 3.4 ounces (or 100 milliliters).
What extra items can you bring on board?
Extra items allowed on board include musical instruments and assistive devices (used by persons with disabilities).
Ancillary items allowed on board also include:
- handbags/pocketbooks
- jackets
- wraps
- small foot rugs
- umbrellas
- walking sticks
- cameras
- binoculars
- books
- food
That said, all items must fit in the stowage space available on the aircraft.
Hawaiian Airlines also states that child restraint seats and booster seats generally count as your carry-on luggage. You may carry a stroller on board (without it counting as your carry-on) as long as you’re traveling with the child using the stroller and there’s room on the aircraft for the stroller to be stowed in the overhead compartment or under the seat in front of you.
If you’re not traveling with a child using the stroller, you can carry it on board (in place of one of your carry-on items) as long as there’s ample room on the aircraft.
