What happens if there is no room for your carry-on?

Do you have to pay for overhead luggage?

How can you tell if a flight is full?

Do carry-on bags get checked?
Checked baggage fees vary from airline to airline.

Some low-cost carriers charge for both carry-on luggage and checked bags.
Do you have to stow your luggage under your front seat?
You’ll have to stow it under your front seat unless you’re sitting in the emergency exit row.

The items that you’re allowed to use as underseat luggage vary between different airlines.

You have no right to the bin above your seat.
