On most flights, you're allowed to bring on board one carry-on bag and one personal item (plus other special items). Please make sure to
read the exceptions though.
Carry-on bag
Your carry-on bag should fit in the overhead bin. The maximum dimensions for a carry-on bag are 9 inches x 14 inches x 22 inches (22 centimeters x 35 centimeters x 56 centimeters). This includes handles and wheels.
Personal item
Your personal item should fit underneath the seat in front of you. The maximum dimensions for your personal item are 9 inches x 10 inches x 17 inches (22 centimeters x 25 centimeters x 43 centimeters).
Other items
In addition to your one carry-on bag and personal item, you can bring the following items on board
footnote1:
- A jacket
- An umbrella
- Reading material
- Food or merchandise that you buy in the airport
- Assistive devices (such as a collapsible wheelchair, cane, crutches, medical device for prescription medications, or portable oxygen concentrator)
- FAA-approved child restraint system or safety seat
- A diaper bag
- A camera
- A pet carrier (service charges apply for in-cabin pets)
You can always double-check the size of your items with our bag sizers at the airport.
If any bags are larger than the carry-on size listed above, or if you bring additional items, you'll have to check them to your final destination. Additional charges may apply.://www.united.com/ual/en/us/fly/travel/baggage/carry-on.html
