carry-ons

Unchecked flight bags

Carry-ons are bags small enough to bring into an airplane cabin rather than checking with larger luggage: I packed light so everything fit in my carry-ons.

The term also describes dramatic behavior meant to attract attention—fussing, complaining, or making a scene: Such carry-ons over a minor inconvenience.
