carryons

Unchecked flight luggage

Carryons are bags small enough to bring into an airplane cabin rather than checking with luggage.

Airlines set size limits, and passengers typically stow carryons in overhead bins or under seats.

The term extends to any luggage designed to meet these restrictions: I prefer traveling with just carryons to avoid baggage claim.

Also spelled carry-ons.
