Carry-on baggage – what can I bring on board?

Carry-on baggage size limits

Your main carry-on bag must fit in the overhead lockers and not exceed 56cm (height) x 36cm (width) x 23cm (depth).

Your small item must fit under the seat in front of you.

Small items

The small item you bring on board could be:

• A handbag, a pocket book or purse
• A laptop computer in thin case
• An umbrella or walking stick
• A small camera
• Infant food for consumption in flight
• Approved duty free goods

Carry-on baggage at the boarding gate

Your carry-on baggage may be checked at the boarding gate. If you bring too many items, or they exceed the size or weight limits, the extra baggage will need to be checked in. Charges apply.

Avoid extra baggage charges at the airport by purchasing checked baggage when you book or before you fly at Manage booking.

Dangerous goods

Some items are prohibited as carry-on baggage so make sure you remove restricted items and don’t forget to check liquids, aerosols, gels and powders if you are flying from an international terminal.

Travelling with medication

If you need to bring essential medication on your flight, please check our travelling with medication requirements.

Travelling with infants and children

On all flights you can bring an approved car seat on board for your infant or child to sit in, in addition to your other carry-on items, free of charge.

If your stroller collapses to our carry-on baggage dimensions (56cm x 23cm x 36cm) and it’s securely packed within a protective cover/bag, then it can be carried on board most Jetstar flights. It will count towards your carry-on baggage allowance.
