Each passenger is allowed to carry ONE piece of cabin baggage, which must not exceed 45 inches (22″ x 14″ x 9″ or 56cm x 36cm x 23cm) in size and 7kg/15Ibs in weight.
*Please note Duty-free items are included in your cabin baggage allowance. Any items exceeding the cabin baggage allowance must be checked in as normal baggage.
HKA website states, also:
In addition to the checked and unchecked baggage allowance, passengers are entitled to bring 1 more small item aboard the aircraft in addition to their cabin luggage. These items include:
– Small handbags
– Laptop bags
– Small backpacks
– Camera bags
– Briefcases
At the boarding gate, all the excessive or bulky hand baggage, exceeding the limitations, will be intercepted and stowed in the aircraft hold. The excessive carry-on baggage will be subjected to a charge of HKD500 per piece (regardless of whether the check-in baggage allowance is used or not).
I guess it is up to you, whether to take the risk that any small carry-on baggage might be subject to a HKD500 fine…
