Carry-on Baggage information:
Things To Know About Your Carry-on Bags
When you bring your bag onboard, you save time - avoid lines at the
check-in counter and waiting at baggage claim - so you can ease in and
out of the airport.
If you are traveling with any liquid, gel or aerosol items, here's a few
things you should remember:
Customers departing from U.S. airports on any domestic or international
flight may bring carry-on bags through security and aboard the aircraft
with trial-size toiletries (3.4 ounces or less) which can be purchased
at any drug store.
Toiletries must fit comfortably in one, quart-size (7.5" x 8"), clear
plastic zip-top bag.
The zip-top bag may need to be presented separately at airport security
so make sure it is easily accessible when you approach the screening
area.
Additionally, beverages or toiletries purchased inside the airport
beyond the security checkpoints will be allowed onboard the aircraft.
Items greater than 3.4 ounces and/or not contained in a zip-top bag may
be allowed on board but must be declared to the TSA at the security
checkpoint for screening. These items include baby formula, milk (to
include breast milk), baby food, juice, medications and liquids/gels
that are needed for diabetic or other medical conditions.
Restrictions vary for flights departing from non - U.S. locations.
Travelers should check with the departure airport for specific security
restrictions.
It's always a good idea to check the airport processing times before
departing for the airport to ensure that you allow enough time for
additional processing when required.
Please note, customers are prohibited from bringing aboard any device to
alter or limit the functionality (permanently or temporarily) of any
aircraft structure, seat assembly, tray table, etc.
Additional references with detailed information and examples of
allowable items may be found at the TSA's Web site.
Wrapped Packages
Due to higher security levels at airports worldwide, gifts and packages
are subject to the same inspection as your carry-on baggage. To reduce
delays at the airport security checkpoint Continental recommends that
you travel with your packages unwrapped. This will allow for easy
inspection, if necessary.
Departing from No. of Bags Size Weight
All locations, except Belfast 1 bag and 1 personal item (see description
below) 45 linear in or 115 cm (L+W+H) 40 lbs or 18 kg
Belfast 1 bag 45 linear in or 115 cm (L+W+H) 40 lbs or 18 kg
Personal items
In addition to the one carry-on item, you may bring free-of-charge the
below items:
one small personal article such as a briefcase, purse, day planner,
small laptop computer, camera case, compact disk player or similar sized
personal entertainment item
personal aid devices such as wheelchairs, braces, canes, crutches,
prosthetic devices and walking sticks, provided passenger is dependent
on them
one infant article such as a small collapsible stroller, a diaper bag or
a government approved child seat (larger strollers can be checked in the
jetway prior to boarding the aircraft)
full-size video game consoles (for example Playstation®, X-box®, or
Nintendo®), full-size DVD players, and video cameras that use video
cassettes (must be removed from carrying cases and submitted separately
for x-ray screening)
CPAP breathing machines (must be removed from carrying case and
submitted separately for x-ray screening)
Small and portable electronic items do not need to be removed from their
carrying cases.
For flights departing Delhi, the following items may be carried on in
addition to the one carry-on item:
Purse, coat, rug or blanket, camera or binoculars, reading material
(reasonable amount), umbrella or walking stick, infant food and bag,
collapsible wheelchair or assistive devices and Duty Free items
Note: Most knives are not allowed past the security checkpoint
(including, but not limited to, pocket knives, folding or retractable
blades regardless of blade length or composition, box cutters, X-Acto
knives, scissors with a pointed tip, straight razors, Leatherman or
Swiss Army Knives). Plastic and round-bladed butter knives are permitted
in carry-on baggage.
Battery operated personal air-purifying devices are prohibited onboard
all Continental flights.
Laptop Computers
Effective Aug. 16, 2008, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA)
will allow passengers to leave their laptop computers in bags that meet
new “checkpoint friendly” standards. For a bag to be considered
checkpoint friendly, it should meet the following standards:
A designated laptop-only section
The laptop-only section completely unfolds to lay flat on the X-ray belt
No metal snaps, zippers or buckles inside, underneath or on top of the
laptop-only section
No pockets on the inside or outside of the laptop-only section
Nothing packed in the laptop-only section other than the computer
itself.
For details of checkpoint friendly designs and guidance on use, go to
tsa.gov.*
Note: Baggage allowances for Continental's codeshare partners or
Continental Express operated by ExpressJet Airlines, Inc. or Chautauqua
Airlines may be different. If your itinerary includes any of these
carriers, please contact a Continental representative for additional
information.
*Given TSA's use of random screening protocols, TSA reserves the right
to re-screen any bag or laptop regardless of the design of the bag.
