Käsipakit

Käsipakit is a Finnish term that translates to "hand baggage" or "carry-on luggage". It refers to the bags and items that passengers are permitted to bring with them into the aircraft cabin during air travel, as opposed to checked baggage that is stowed in the cargo hold. Airlines typically have specific regulations regarding the size, weight, and number of käsipakit allowed per passenger. These restrictions are in place for safety reasons, to ensure overhead compartments are not overloaded, and to facilitate efficient boarding and deplaning.

The contents of käsipakit are also subject to security screening at airports. Prohibited items, such as certain liquids, sharp objects, and explosives, are not allowed in the cabin. Passengers are generally advised to pack essential items, valuables, and anything they might need during the flight in their käsipakit. This can include electronics, medications, travel documents, and a change of clothes. Understanding and adhering to airline policies on käsipakit is crucial for a smooth travel experience.
