When a passenger requests that an item of baggage be carried in the cabin, and HA determines that the item is acceptable as cabin baggage but it is so fragile and/or bulky as to require the use of a seat, the baggage must be carried on board the aircraft by the passenger and secured in the seat next to the passenger’s seat.

For safety reasons, cabin-seat baggage must be carried in a foremost seat(s) in the same cabin in which the passenger travels. These are the seats directly aft of a bulkhead or partition. If the seat next to the cabin baggage is required for use, the passenger boarding the baggage will occupy that seat.

HA will charge 100% of the applicable adult one-way fare for that portion of the trip on which the extra seat is used. HA will not include the cabin-seat baggage ticket in determination of free baggage allowance or excess baggage charges.
