VACATIONS are always exciting but packing can sometimes be a hassle.

There are strict rules for carry-on luggage, and here is what you can actually bring on board.

Every airline has different criteria when it comes to carry-on bags, so it is best to check with your airline before packing your carry-on.

American Airlines allows carry-on under the size of 22 x 14 x 9 inches, including the handles and wheels.

You can carry most items in your carry-on, as long as they're not restricted by TSA.

When carrying liquid, you need to place everything in a 1 quart-sized bag that is less than 3.4 ounces per item.

When traveling with pets, make sure to check with your airline first to see any steps you need to complete before boarding, per U.S. News & World Report.

Only pets that can fit under the seat are allowed in the cabin unless you have a service animal.

If you have a specific question about an item not listed on the TSA website, you can simply take a photo and ask TSA through Facebook Messenger or Twitter.

You can carry a lot of items in your carry-on, but there are also strict rules on things you absolutely cannot bring, per Real Simple.

You cannot pack sharp objects that can potentially be used as weapons, including box cutters, knives, razors, or scissors that are larger than 4 inches.

If you want to carry sharp objects, you have to securely pack them and check them in your bag.

You cannot carry athletic equipment, such as hockey and lacrosse sticks, golf clubs, baseball bats, and more.

Most candles, with the exception of solid wax candles, are not allowed in your carry-on luggage along with self-defense items.

Pepper spray or mace, and brass knuckles are all banned and not permitted.

An extensive amount of alcohol is also banned from carry-ons, and you have to check them in your bag if you want to bring some.

You obviously also cannot carry guns.

If you do not follow the TSA rules, you may be fined up to thousands of dollars.
