»»Security Changes: Most Carry-ons Banned on Canada - U.S. Flights

Canadian officials are banning most carry-on luggage for passengers heading to the US from Canada.

Passengers are allowed carry medical devices, small purses, cameras, laptop computers, canes, walkers, diaper bags, musical instruments and bags containing life-sustaining items. Technically, what is not included in this list is not allowed as a carry-on.

Transport Canada’s website reads: “The purpose of this is to alleviate the immediate pressures at the security checkpoint resulting directly from the temporary emergency measures announced by Transport Canada on December 26. Delays can be expected so passengers are advised to arrive at the airport three hours in advance of their scheduled flight. These measures are expected to be in place at least for several days.”

Some airlines are planning to waive most bag fees through December 30.
