Dimensions

AirTran Airways limits carry-on bag dimensions to 24” long x 16” wide x 10” tall. If the bag exceeds these dimensions, it is considered too large to be a carry-on item and must be checked. All carry-on items must fit under the seat or in the overhead bin. Any heavy item must be placed underneath the customer’s seat. Any item with inflexible surfaces must be placed underneath the customer’s seat or flat on the floor of an overhead bin.

AirTran Airways currently prohibits self-defense sprays on any flight regardless if it is checked or carried on. Please see the TSA’s web site for a list of other prohibited carry-on items
