Ticket allowance
What your ticket includes
Your answer depends on more detail
BagCheck may need fare, route and purchase date before it can give a definitive ticket-allowance answer.
Economy Basic allowance depends on ticket purchase date and exact route/connection scope; other eligible fares retain one personal article plus one standard carry-on.
Economy Basic purchased on or after 2025-01-03 is personal-item-only in the exact restricted regional scope unless the itinerary connects onward internationally outside that scope.
