Passengers flying with Cathay Pacific are permitted to bring both a standard main cabin carry-on bag and a smaller personal item, such as a backpack, laptop bag, or handbag, free of charge. The personal item must remain compact enough to fit securely underneath the seat directly in front of you, while the primary carry-on bag must adhere to strict airline dimension limits and cabin weight class maximums. This dual allowance ensures travelers can conveniently keep essential electronics, documents, and valuables accessible throughout the flight.
