Who determines if the container meets requirements?

During boarding, the gate agent is the one who determines whether a container meets requirements. They verify that carry-on and pet containers comply with airline rules for size, weight, and safety before boarding proceeds. This includes checking that the container will actually fit in the overhead bin or under the seat, that it’s an approved type for its use, and that it’s secure, labeled, and in good condition. If a container doesn’t meet the rules, the gate agent guides the passenger on alternatives (such as checking the item or using a different container). Flight attendants focus on safety inside the cabin after boarding, pilots handle flight operations, and security officers conduct security screening; the gate agent is the one who makes the container compliance determination at the gate.
