Great, because we're going to fly along with you this week and tell you what all those mumbling pilots and fast-talking flight attendants are saying. So kick back and ENJOY the flight for a change!

examples

  1. (airline baggage information)
    Passengers may take one piece of carry-on luggage on board the aircraft, as well as a purse, small handbag, briefcase, or laptop computer.
  2. (getting ready for a trip)
    They won't let you take that bottle of shampoo in your carry-on luggage. Pack it in your suitcase.
  3. I'm glad we don't have any check-in luggage, so we won't have to spend time waiting at the baggage carousel.
