Cape Air is a regional airline operating flights in New England, Florida, and the Caribbean, among others. They operate a fleet of Cessna 402s, Britten-Norman Islanders, and 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 carry on item which will be gate-checked plus 1 personal item
Most of Cape Air’s flights will require you to gate check your larger carry-on item 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.
