What is a personal item on a plane?

A personal item is a small procession, for example a purse, laptop, umbrella, camera case, book, or small backpack. Personal items need to be small enough to be stowed securely and safely under the seat in front of you. In many instances, an airline will allow you to bring one personal item in addition to your one carry-on bag allowance.

Is a backpack considered a personal item on a plane?

Every airline will have different weight and/or size restrictions when it comes to qualifying what a personal item is. In most instances, if your bag will fit comfortably under the seat in front of you, it will be considered a personal item. Therefore, small backpacks or handbags are usually considered to be a personal item. However, be sure to check your airline's restrictions before you travel to the airport.

What's the difference between a cabin bag and carry-on luggage?

Whether its called hand baggage, cabin bag or your carry-on luggage, all of these refer to the piece of baggage that will take onto the plane with you. This piece of baggage should generally be small enough to fit into the overhead compartment. If your hand baggage is too large to fit in the overhead lockers, you may have to check it in for an additional cost. For this reason you should always check the airline's baggage policy before leaving for the airport.
