How does it work when ppl leave carry-on luggage on the ramp before boarding the plane?

I want to fly with only my carry-on. I see people every time I fly leaving small suitcases before boarding that are sometime waiting for them when we got off the plane. How does that work as carry-on? Does it cost anything? I can't find anything on the airline sites about this.How does it work when ppl leave carry-on luggage on the ramp before boarding the plane?When you are at the gate tell the gate agent you want to "door check" or "gate check" your carry-on. It doesn't cost anything.

They will normally give you a baggage tag (often pink) that you attach to your carry-on (you keep the stub). Then put your carry-on in the designated place before boarding the flight. When the flight lands at your destination you exit the aircraft and wait (usually in the jetway) for the ground crew to deliver the "gate checked" bags.

Note that you can take your carry-on into the aircraft with you as long as it fits in the overhead compartment or under the seat in front of you. However, airlines today tend to use "regional jets" for many routes and regular-size carry-ons won't fit in the aircraft's overhead storage or under the seat.How does it work when ppl leave carry-on luggage on the ramp before boarding the plane?You are allowed 2 personal items on the plane. If, the carry-on luggage is to large to fit under your seat or in the overhead bin they will give you a tag for you carry-on. You would drop you luggage off at the jet bridge before your flight. You would then pick-up you luggage when you exit the plane. If, you have a connecting flight or flights it is important to remember to pick it up on the jet bridge after each flight.How does it work when ppl leave carry-on luggage on the ramp before boarding the plane?These are only for regional jets, turboprops, and other small aircraft.



These bags are within the carry on limits of the main airline (for their overhead bins like 737, 747) but are too big for regional jet overhead bins. So these bins are tagged to go under and are picked up when you get off the aircraft. And no they don't charge.
