Cebu Pacific (CEB) is updating its hand carry policy as part of its ongoing efforts to enhance the travel experience and make boarding easier for its passengers.
Beginning September 15, 2026, passengers flying on Cebu Pacific (5J) flights may bring up to 10kg of total hand carry items, up from the previous 7kg limit. Cebgo (DG) flights will continue to have a total hand carry allowance of 7kg.
The updated policy allows passengers to bring what they need for their trip while establishing clear limits on the number and size of hand carry items. These measures will also assist our crew in managing baggage more efficiently, completing pre-departure procedures on time, and keeping 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 luggage 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 baggage: 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 help reduce flight delays and ensure a smoother boarding experience, passengers are reminded to keep their hand-carry items to the allowed number of pieces and weight limits.
Any hand-carry item that exceeds CEB's allowed limits must be checked in, subject to applicable baggage fees.
Passengers are encouraged to purchase their checked baggage allowance in advance or add additional baggage allowance through the Manage Booking portal using their MyCebuPacific accounts.
Online check-in is also available through the CEB mobile app and website, which reduces passenger wait time at the airport and allows them to proceed directly to their assigned boarding gates if they do not have checked baggage.
CEB currently flies to 35 domestic and 26 international destinations across Asia, Australia and the Middle East.
