What can I bring on carry-on baggage?

Question

I'm flying on Northwest Airlines and I was wondering if there is a limited amount of liquid you can bring. I know it has to be three ounces or less in a quart-sized ziplock bag, but how many of those three ounce bagged liquids am I allowed to bring? Am I only allowed to have one piece of baggage to carry on? For ladies, does a purse count as carry-on baggage if I'm only allowed to bring one suitcase? What are the limits for carry-on baggage? Help!!!

Does a coat qualify as a carry-on item or can I be wearing a coat/jacket, carrying a purse, and lugging a piece of luggage all at the same time?

Answer 1

The best place to find your answers are on the airline's website. When I've flown, I've been allowed one carryon and one personal item (ie: purse). I think you can only have one zip lock bag with liquids (3 oz or less) and items have to fit comfortably in the bag (not packed full). Have a good trip

Answer 2

Many things vary with the airline and with the security people where you're travelling from. Strictly speaking you aren't on international flights allowed a purse AND a bag -- just the one bag into which you may put the purse etc. But you should be allowed a coat as long as you're wearing it when you board.

Answer 3

Most of these rules are imposed by the federal gov't. and not the airline. All of the information is at www.tsa.gov

You're allowed one "personal item" which includes a purse in addition to one carry-on bag.

Answer 4

if your purse isn't huge, it is not considered a carry on bag. If you wear the coat, they can't consider that luggage. I assume it's one zip-lock bag per person.
