  • How many Bags may I Carry on?

    You may bring one carry-on item onboard the aircraft, plus one personal item. See our Baggage page for further information.

    Passengers travelling on Delta Connection flights with 50 seats or less are permitted to carry personal items onboard the aircraft.  Due to limited overhead and under seat space, larger items will be tagged with a pink Gate Claim/Planeside tag and loaded in the cargo bin.  These bags will be returned to the passenger upon deplaning

    All carry-on items must meet Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations and may not exceed 22" x 14" x 9". The FAA mandates that all carry-on items fit under a seat or in an enclosed storage compartment.

    Our gate or flight personnel may need to further limit the amount of carry-on baggage for a particular flight, depending on the cabin storage capacity of the plane and the expected number of passengers.

    Yes. See our Baggage page for more information.

    We require outside personal identification on all checked baggage. We also recommend inside identification details, just in case the outside identification gets lost.

    Remember to always carry medicine, money, valuable documents, keys, jewelry, cameras and other small fragile items in your carry-on luggage, just in case your baggage is separated from you for a time. And remember to never lock your luggage.

  • If I Pack my Camera in a Suitcase, will it be Covered Under Delta's Liability?

    Unfortunately, we cannot assume liability for jewelry, cash, camera equipment or other similar valuable items contained in checked or unchecked baggage on domestic flights. See the Delayed, Lost or Damaged  page for more information.

  • Are Carry-on Items Included in Delta's Baggage Liability? 

    We do not assume liability for unchecked items unless they are given to our personnel for storage during the flight or otherwise delivered into our custody for travel.

  • Does my Walking Cane have to be Stowed in a Specific Area on the Aircraft?

    Federal regulations require that a cane must be stowed for take off and landings in an approved storage compartment. Flexible travel canes, such as those used by customers that are visually impaired, can be stored in the area under passenger seats, as long as the cane doesn't protrude into the aisle or otherwise disturb the crew or other passengers.
