Caribbean Airlines Baggage Policy
Understanding the baggage policy is vital when flying with Caribbean Airlines, in order to facilitate the check-in process and avoid surprises from baggage fees. The Caribbean Airlines Baggage Policy outlines what a passenger may be permitted to bring on board as hand luggage, checked baggage, and specialty items, including what fees and restrictions apply to them. Here you will find everything you need to know about carry-on allowances, allowances for free checked baggage, excess baggage fees, and the rules around special baggage.
Caribbean Airlines allows passengers to bring one carry-on and one personal item on board. A personal item could be a handbag, a laptop case, or a smaller backpack, provided that it can be stored underneath the seat in front of you.

Sports items like golf clubs, bicycles, and scuba gear can typically be accepted as your checked luggage as long as they meet the standard size and weight restrictions, and additional fees will apply if there is an excess of either.
