Carryon Baggage Per TSA regulations, carryon items are limited to one bag plus one small, personal item. Personal-type items include purses, briefcases, cameras, food containers, or laptops (case included). Pet carriers are considered either a personal item or a carryon item. Southwest Airlines limits carryon bag dimensions to 10 x 16 x 24 inches. All Customers and Employees and their items are subject to a thorough, physical search. The following items are not considered carryon bags or personal-type items and are not counted against the one-bag plus one personal-type item limit: A child restraint device for a ticketed child with a reserved seat or when complimentary, available space exists. Assistive/mobility devices for individuals with a disability. There is no limit to the number of assistive/mobility devices a Customer can bring onboard the aircraft. Outer garments or other wearable articles of clothing. Food for consumption during flight contained in disposable packaging. Walking canes or umbrellas. Strollers and Child Restraint Systems (CRSs) or Car Seats Customers traveling with children will be allowed to check one stroller and one Child Restraint System (CRS) or car seat per child without charge. This is in addition to the regular free baggage allowance. The stroller and CRS or car seat allowance applies to any type of stroller (umbrella, full size, jogging stroller, etc.) and CRS or car seat. The Customer may check the stroller and CRS or car seat at the curb, ticket counter, or gate. Southwest Airlines will not assume liability for damage to strollers, CRSs or car seats. (An optional Southwest-branded reusable car seat/stroller bag is available for purchase at any Southwest Airlines ticket counter for a $15 one time fee.) Southwest Airlines currently prohibits self-defense sprays on any flight regardless if it is checked or carried on. Please see the TSAs web site for a list of prohibited carryon items. International Travel Duty-Free Items: Duty-free items, or any liquids that exceed three ounces, must be re-checked after clearing Customs upon arrival in the United States before proceeding through the TSA security checkpoint to travel on connecting flights and will count toward the 1+1 TSA baggage policy. Liquids in Excess of 100 mL: Beginning January 31, 2014, passengers traveling internationally into the United States with a connecting flight will be permitted to carry liquids in excess of 100 mL in their carry-on baggage, provided they were purchased in duty-free shops and placed in secure, tamper-evident bags (STEBs). Technological advances may allow passengers to keep these liquids in their carry-on baggage, provided they are presented in a STEB and are able to be screened and cleared by Transportation Security Officers at the checkpoint. Liquids that cannot be screened and cleared will not be allowed to remain in a passenger’s carry-on baggage. Passengers may elect to place these items into checked baggage, if available, or forfeit them prior to entering the secure area of the airport. This may include liquids in opaque, ceramic, or metallic bottles, or other containers that cannot be effectively scanned. See us for Travel / Trip / Vacation Insurance.
