Based on FAA regulations for flights within the United States, you can carry one piece of carry-on luggage and one personal item.
Carry-On Luggage and Personal Items Explained
Here's a breakdown of what constitutes carry-on luggage and personal items, according to FAA regulations:
-
Carry-On Luggage: This is typically a small suitcase or bag that fits in the overhead compartment of the airplane.
-
Personal Item: As defined by the FAA, personal items may include:
- Handbags
- Briefcases
- Laptops
- Daypacks
- Small backpacks
Therefore, in terms of "bags", you can technically carry two: one larger carry-on bag and one smaller "bag" that fits the definition of a personal item (like a handbag or small backpack).
