Who verifies carry-on baggage?

• A. FA 2 & 3
• B. Purser
• C. FA 1 & 2
• D. Flight deck crew

Answer: (A)

Carry-on baggage verification is a cabin safety duty performed by the flight attendants as part of boarding and pre-takeoff checks. Two attendants, usually stationed mid-cabin and toward the rear, check each passenger’s bag for size and fit to ensure it can be safely stored in the overhead bin or under the seat and that it won’t obstruct aisles. This responsibility stays with the cabin crew to manage the cabin environment and passenger safety; the Purser leads service and coordination but does not typically conduct this check, and the flight deck crew (pilots) focus on flight operations rather than baggage verification. So the attendants assigned to cover the cabin—often the ones in positions 2 and 3—are the ones who verify carry-on baggage.
