Air Transat Airlines Cabin Baggage Allowance

Air Transat’s personal item policy

You may bring a smaller personal item inside the cabin in addition to your checked luggage, but it must not exceed the following dimensions: 17 x 12 x 5 inches (43.2 x 30.5 x 12.7 cm).

Examples that are common are purses or laptops.

But in truth, if you were to utilize a tiny backpack or holdall, this may be a chance to bring along a few extra necessities.

We also wouldn’t worry too much if this object were somewhat larger than the above-mentioned restrictions, as long as it is obviously tiny enough to fit below the seat in front of you.
