Carry-on baggage...

Carry-on baggage...

• A. Can never be left in doorway or aisle
• B. Must be left in the doorway to be accessible
• C. Can be left in the aisle if space is tight
• D. Should be left under the seat

Answer: (A)

Keeping passageways clear is essential for safety. Carry-on baggage must be stowed in approved locations so it doesn’t block movement or hinder evacuation. Leaving items in the doorway or in the aisle creates a direct hazard: it can slow or prevent passengers from reaching exits quickly in an emergency, and it can trip people or shift under braking or turbulence. The safest approach is to store bags in overhead compartments or under seats so the doorway remains unobstructed and crews can access exits and safety equipment as needed. Even when space is tight, the priority is a clear path to the exits rather than keeping items in the doorway or aisle.
