Carry-on rules for US Airways Express
Not sure if you're on a US Airways Express flight? Please check your confirmation. If you're on a flight operated by Air Wisconsin, Mesa, Piedmont, PSA, Republic, SkyWest or Trans States, you're allowed to carry on 2 items:
1 personal item (such as a purse or laptop) in the cabin, and
1 small carry-on bag, which will be tagged, placed in the cargo bin and returned to you plane-side or on the jetway when you arrive.
Pay for your 1st and 2nd checked bags when you check in online or at the airport. All bag fees are per person, each way and are non-refundable.
You're Also Allowed:
Required mobility assistive devices, such as wheelchairs, canes or crutches (to check or carry on)
Infant assistive device (stroller or car seat)
Required medical supplies or equipment. These items may also be carried on the aircraft as long as they meet size and weight restrictions. If medical equipment or supplies are in a larger bag with other non-essential items, normal baggage fees apply.
When you're trying to figure out if your bag is oversize, add the measurements for length, height and width together. The dimensions we list are length +height +width.
