Cebu Pacific is updating its hand carry policy as part of its continuing efforts to improve the travel experience and make the boarding process more convenient for its passengers.
Starting September 15, 2026, travelers flying on Cebu Pacific (5J) flights may bring up to 10kg of total hand carry items, while flights operated under Cebgo (DG) will continue to have a total hand carry allowance of up to 7kg.
This gives passengers more flexibility to bring what they need for their trip, while keeping clear limits on the number and size of hand carry items. These measures will also help our crew manage baggage more efficiently, complete pre-departure procedures on time, and keep flights on schedule.
Passengers may only bring up to two (2) pieces of hand carry items on board:
🧳️ One (1) hand carry baggage (to be placed in the overhead bin)
👜️ One (1) personal item (to fit under the seat in front)
Passengers are reminded to ensure they can comfortably lift and stow their hand carry item in the overhead bin by themselves, or under the seat in front of them. Hand carry items must follow the corresponding size limits:
🧳 Hand carry item: up to Height = 56 cm × Length = 36 cm × Width = 23 cm
👜️ Personal item: up to Height = 20 cm × Length = 35 cm x Width = 20 cm
To ensure a smoother boarding experience, passengers are reminded to keep their hand carry items within the allowed number of pieces and weight limits.
Any hand carry item that exceeds Cebu Pacific's allowed limits will need to be checked in, subject to applicable baggage fees.
For convenience, passengers are encouraged to pre-purchase their checked baggage allowance or add additional baggage allowance via the Manage Booking portal using their MyCebuPacific accounts.
