Checked-in Bag Policy
Not sure whether to check your bag or carry it on? Take a few minutes to learn the can-do and no-can-do rules of carry-on baggage. If you don’t want to carry-on, it’s still easy to check your bag if you prefer.
Each passenger flying with Delta can bring 1 carry-on bag and 1 personal item free of charge (such as a purse, laptop bag or item of similar size that will fit underneath the seat in front of you). If you plan to bring roll-aboard luggage or a large bag to store in the overhead bin, you can find size information, Go to footer note below. Note: carry-on bag exceptions apply for passengers traveling with an infant-in-arms and for passengers traveling with pets in the cabin.
When packing, please remember that flight attendants are unable to proactively assist customers placing carry-on baggage into overhead bins, with certain exceptions. In addition to keeping customers and crew members safe and healthy, this change also protects flight attendants by decreasing the likelihood of injury caused by repetitive lifting.

Prohibited and Restricted Items
While many things are allowed in your carry-on and personal item when you travel, be sure to consider things that are limited for your safety. Most countries restrict the size of containers with liquids, gels, aerosols and pastes — even in partially empty containers during security. Pack ahead of time and place larger liquid items in your checked luggage.
- Limit liquids, gels, aerosols and pastes items to a maximum of 3.4 ounces or 100 milliliters
- Place all items in one single quart-size, zip-top bag of clear plastic
- At security, remove your quart-size bag and place it in a bin
Liquids, gels, aerosols and pastes include anything like beverages, creams, hair gel, hair spray, shampoo, suntan lotions, toothpaste or any item of similar consistency. Special provisions are usually made by the TSA for necessary items such as medication, breast milk, and juice or formula for infants — which can receive a special screening for your convenience.
Special Items
Musical instruments and/or equipment are accepted as checked baggage, carry-on baggage or cabin-seat baggage — depending on its size and shape — on Delta and Delta Connection flights. It is safest to bring your instrument in a hard-shell case.
