27. Special rules for Basic Economy tickets

Traveling on a Basic Economy ticket? Brace yourself for some of the strictest baggage policies in the skies. These tickets often limit you to one carry-on bag and a single personal item with specific size restrictions.

Forget about any checked bags unless you're ready to pay extra. In addition to your one personal item, some airlines allow you to bring instruments, pets, and special items, though you will need to check the rules ahead of time.

There's also usually a standard fee for these items.
