One carry-on now allowed on US bound flights


According to Transport Canada, Canada's Transport Minister John Baird announced yesterday that passengers traveling to the US are now allowed to bring one carry-on bag. This new measure replaces the temporary restriction on carry-ons which started due to the Dec 25th incident.

“The Government of Canada is strongly committed to ensuring that air travel is safe and secure, but also to ensure passengers have a reasonable level of comfort and convenience during their trips,” said Baird. “The public has been extremely patient and cooperative with the measures mandated by the United States. Effective today, there is a new and practical carry-on rule for passengers travelling to the United States, which upholds important security considerations.”
