Once onboard, the cabin crew will be pleased to assist you with stowing personal belongings. In some instances it may not be possible to accommodate all cabin baggage on board due to physical space limitations.

Cabin baggage may be placed in overhead bins provided that weight limitations are not exceeded, or alternatively under the seat ahead of you. Under no circumstances may cabin baggage be placed on a passenger seat as a means of stowage for either take-off or landing.

Cabin baggage may not be stowed in an emergency exit row, or when seated directly behind a bulkhead or class divider.

If the dimensions or weight of cabin baggage exceed what can be accommodated, you will be asked to surrender items to be placed in the baggage hold. In this instance, please cooperate with the crew and remove any valuables such as currency or notebook computers. Please ensure you receive a limited release tag for your bag.

On domestic and regional flights such cabin baggage will be returned to you as you leave the aircraft. On longhaul flights these items will be made available at the baggage carousel in the arrivals hall.
