Guests traveling with AirTran are allowed to bring one carry-on item and one personal item. The carry-on item must be stored under the seat in front of the passenger or in an approved overhead bin. Personal items include briefcases, laptop computers, handbags, umbrellas and a walking stick. If travelers are using any type of assistance devices that can collapse small enough to fit into an overhead bin or underneath a seat it will not count towards their carry-on item. Examples of assistance devices include crutches, walkers and canes. Please note, carry-on bags can not exceed 24 inches in length, 18 inches in width and 13 inches in height for a total combined linear measurement of 55 inches.

AirTrans allows its customers to travel with a pet. These pets must be well mannered and be able to fit into an approved carrier under the seat. There isn't a weight restriction but the kennel is restricted to 8.5 inches high, 17 inches long and 12 inches wide. It must be leak proof and have ventilation on at least two sides. During the flight the pet must remain in the carrier under the seat. Please note, this carrier will count as one of your carry-on items. Reservations must be made in advance if you're traveling with your pet because there is a limit of six pets per flight, with the exception of service dogs. Service dogs are always welcome regardless of the number of animals on the flight. Contact AirTran Airways reservations desk at 1-800-247-8726 for additional information about traveling with your pet.
