We don't have cabin item rules for this airline. Please check airline's full cabin item rules in the link bellow.

Only Lite and Max fares include a cabin bag allowance in addition to the personal item. The cabin bag must fit in overhead compartments and cannot exceed 56x36x23cm. The total combined weight of personal item and cabin bag must not exceed 7kg. Due to space limitations, cabin bags may need to be gate-checked on a first-come, first-served basis at no extra cost.

Airport purchases count toward baggage allowance. Excess items incur an HKD800 gate fee per piece and must be checked. Even approved carry-on bags may require gate check-in due to limited overhead space, with boarding priority determining compartment access.
