Traveling can be fun, but it’s important to know the rules about what you can take with you on the plane. Delta Airlines has some easy rules for bags that help make your trip smooth. Let’s break down these rules in a simple way.
What You Can Bring on the Plane
Carry-On Bags
Delta lets you bring one carry-on bag and one small item like a purse or laptop bag. Your carry-on bag should not be bigger than 22 inches x 14 inches x 9 inches. This size check is to make sure your bag fits in the space above your seat or under it.
Small Personal Items
Besides your carry-on, you can bring a small item. This could be a little backpack, a handbag, or something for your laptop. Just make sure it can fit under the seat in front of you. Keeping it around 17 inches x 13 inches x 9 inches is a good idea.
Weight Limits for Bags
Most of the time, Delta doesn’t worry about how heavy your carry-on is. But, some airports have rules for this. It’s good to check before you fly from places like Beijing, Shanghai, or Singapore.

Flying on Smaller Planes with Delta Connection
When you fly on smaller Delta planes, called Delta Connection, you might only be able to bring a small item. Bigger carry-on bags will need to be checked, but usually, they do this for free.
Bringing Pets on Delta
If you want to travel with your pet, Delta has specific guidelines known as the Delta Airline Pet Policy. This policy allows pets to accompany you in the cabin on many flights, provided they are in a small carrier. It’s important to familiarize yourself with these pet travel rules before your journey to ensure a smooth experience for both you and your furry companion.
Other Things You Can Take
You can also bring a coat, an umbrella, things you bought at the duty-free shop, and things like wheelchairs or strollers. Delta is pretty good about letting you bring what you need.
Shopping Duty-Free
You can buy things at the airport shops and bring them with you. Just make sure they fit in your bags and follow the size rules.
Special Items
If you have something special like a musical instrument or sports gear, Delta usually lets you bring it. But, if it’s really big or heavy, there might be an extra fee.
Things You Can’t Bring
For safety, there are some things you can’t bring in your carry-on bag. This includes dangerous items like explosives, flammable things, and sharp objects. Always check Delta’s website for the latest list of things you can’t bring.
What if Your Bag is Too Big?
If your carry-on bag is too big, you can check it at the gate. This means you give it to the airline before you get on the plane, and they put it in the luggage area. If it’s an extra bag, you might have to pay a fee.
