Hawaiian Airlines’ Carry-On Baggage Guidelines

Every airline has its own set of rules and regulations regarding carry-on baggage allowance. Here’s what you need to know about the carry-on policies of Hawaiian Airlines before you board your flight.

What is the carry-on policy for Hawaiian Airlines?

Hawaiian Airlines permits travelers to bring one carry-on bag along with one personal item on board. Both items must adhere to the specified size limits.

Carry-on bags should not exceed 9 x 14 x 22 inches (23 x 36 x 56 cm) and must weigh no more than 25 pounds (11 kg). To determine if your luggage meets the airline’s size requirements, you can use Dinogo’s Bag Measurement tool available in the Dinogo mobile app.

While there are no specific dimensions for a personal item, it should be small enough to fit under the seat in front of you. Acceptable personal items include briefcases, purses, small backpacks, and laptop bags.

What is the carry-on liquid policy for Hawaiian Airlines?

Per the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), passengers may bring a quart-sized bag containing liquids, aerosols, and gels through security, with each liquid item limited to 3.4 ounces (or 100 milliliters).

What additional items can you take on board?

You are also allowed to bring musical instruments and assistive devices for individuals with disabilities on board.

Other ancillary items permitted on board include:

• handbags or pocketbooks
• jackets
• wraps
• small foot rugs
• umbrellas
• walking sticks
• cameras
• binoculars
• books
• food

However, all items must fit within the available stowage space on the aircraft.

Hawaiian Airlines indicates that child restraint systems and booster seats usually count as part of your carry-on allowance. You are allowed to bring a stroller on board (without it counting as your carry-on) if you are traveling with the child using it, provided there is space for the stroller in the overhead compartment or under the seat in front of you.

If you are not accompanying a child using the stroller, you may bring it on board (counting it as one of your carry-on items) as long as there is sufficient room on the aircraft.
