Cape Air is a regional airline operating flights in New England, Florida, and the Caribbean, among others. They operate a fleet of 88 Cessna 402s, 4 Britten-Norman Islanders, and 2 Cessna Caravan seaplanes. They carry over 500,000 passengers a year, making Cape Air one of the largest regional airlines in the USA. Their carry on luggage size and weight allowances are a little more restrictive than standard airlines due to the fact that their airplanes are smaller. Read below for more information.

Cape Air carry on luggage size information
Number of items allowed:
- 1 plus a personal item on the 46-Passenger ATR42
- 1 gate-checked item plus a personal item on the Cessna 402
For flights in the Cessna 402, carry-on items are gate-checked due to limited space in the cabin. See airline’s website for more info.
The airline’s site no longer lists a weight limit for carry-on luggage, but I have left the previously listed weight. Please verify the weight allowance with the airline before you leave for the airport since smaller planes like these usually have strict weight restrictions.
Maximum allowed in imperial: (official)
- Linear dimensions = 45 in
