Similar to carry-on luggage, an underseat personal item is subject to size and shape requirements. However, unlike most of the things we fly with—nearly all of which are precisely designed for airplane use—almost any small bag (your favorite backpack or tote, for instance) can work as a personal item.
What size bag can fit under an airplane seat?
According to airline policy, any items to be stowed beneath seats should not exceed 18 inches by 14 inches by 8 inches.
What size bag is considered a personal item?
