Käsimatkatavaroissa

Käsimatkatavaroissa refers to the items passengers are allowed to bring with them into the aircraft cabin on a flight. These items are typically stored in the overhead compartments or under the seat in front of the passenger. The specific rules and regulations regarding käsimatkatavaroissa vary significantly between airlines and are also subject to security screening by aviation authorities.

Generally, käsimatkatavaroissa are limited in size and weight to ensure they can be safely stored and do not obstruct aisles or emergency exits. Airlines typically provide clear dimensions and weight limits on their websites, and exceeding these can result in the item being checked as regular luggage, often for an additional fee. Common items allowed in käsimatkatavaroissa include handbags, laptop bags, small backpacks, and coats.

There are also restrictions on liquids, aerosols, and gels (LAGs) brought into the cabin as käsimatkatavaroissa. These items are usually limited to containers of 100 milliliters or less, and all such containers must fit into a single, transparent, resealable plastic bag with a maximum capacity of one liter. Certain exceptions may apply for medications and baby food, which may require verification.

In addition to size, weight, and liquid restrictions, all käsimatkatavaroissa are subject to security checks. Prohibited items, such as sharp objects, weapons, and certain flammable materials, are not permitted in the cabin and must be packed in checked luggage or left behind. Passengers are advised to consult their airline's specific guidelines and the relevant aviation security regulations well in advance of their travel date to ensure a smooth boarding process.
