Fly Free From Fuss by Following Flight Rules

There are so many air travel rules to follow, which make it all difficult for any one person to know and fully understand them. Today, let us clarify the most important rules pertaining to travel luggage when taking flights.

Allowed Carry On Items

Aside from the carry on luggage and the personal item, there are other items allowed to bring on board: a coat, a reading material, a tiny bag or package as food storage, and health-related devices for personal use, like a wheelchair or walker. Let us just consider these items as “accessories.”
