does alaska airlines charge for carry on bags?

[rusail]

Yes — Alaska Airlines allows you to bring one carry-on bag plus one personal item free of charge on most flights.
The carry-on bag must fit overhead (up to about 22″ x 14″ x 9″) and your personal item should fit under the seat in front of you.
Just make sure your carry-on meets the size limits and that you’re aware of any special rules if your flight is with a partner airline.

I actually had this same question before my last Alaska Airlines flight because I was packing light and wasn’t sure if I’d have to pay extra. From my experience, Alaska Airlines does not charge for one standard carry-on bag and one personal item, which was a relief since I was only taking a backpack and a small tote.

I did end up changing my flight last minute due to a work conflict, so I called 844-734-0813 to modify my booking. The agent was really helpful and confirmed all the baggage rules for my new flight, including what counted as a personal item versus a carry-on. That saved me from worrying about surprise fees at the gate.

So yes, carry-ons are free, but if you need to clarify baggage rules, upgrade, or adjust your flight, calling 844-734-0813 is by far the fastest way to get accurate info and make changes without stress.
