There is a big news for air travelers. The Bureau of Civil Aviation (BCAS) has issued new rules. BCAS has recently amended the rules for hand baggage. If you do not follow these rules, you may have to pay a fine at the airport.
Under the new instructions, passengers are now allowed to carry only one hand bag or cabin bag inside the flight, whether the journey is domestic or international.
Apart from one hand bag, all other bags will be mandatory to be checked-in. Keeping in mind the security checks and increasing passenger numbers, BCAS and Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) have made these rules stricter. Airlines have also revised their rules in accordance with this change.

At the same time, this limit has been fixed at 10 kg for business or first class passengers. The size of the bag should not exceed 40 cm (length), 20 cm (width) and 55 cm (height).
