Your carry-on baggagemust:
- fit under the seat in front of you or in an overhead locker (including musical instruments)

- not include any dangerous goods unless permitted for carriage.
If your baggage meets the above requirements, but we reasonably believe it’s not safe to be included as carry-on baggage, we may require you to check it in.
Qantas Carry On Free Personal Items
In addition to your carry-on baggage allowance, you may also carry onboard one small personal item such:

When packing your carry-on baggage:
- Ensure you take essential medication and prescriptions onboard with you in your carry-on.
- Keep it as light as possible as there can be considerable distances to walk at some airports and space inside the cabin is limited.
- If you’re carrying fragile or valuable items, ensure they are appropriately packed.
