JAL international carry-on: the 10 kg limit includes your personal belonging

The main bag must be within 55 × 40 × 25 cm and 115 cm total dimensions, including handles and wheels. The personal belonging must fit under the seat in front of you. Do not calculate the weight using only the wheeled case. Your seat affects where bags can be stored, not how much baggage the ticket includes. JAL does not allow bags at your feet when no seat is in front of you, and exit-row passengers may not keep a bag at their feet or on their lap. Staff may move baggage to the hold if it cannot be properly stowed. Check the restricted-item instructions before handing over a cabin bag and keep valuables with you.
