The allowed size for carry-on luggage within the aircraft is 115 linear cm or, according to GOL's website, 35 cm x 25 cm x 55 cm (length x width x height). It's important to note that these measurements include wheels, external pockets, and retractable handles.

Passengers are permitted to carry up to 10 kg of hand luggage when flying with GOL Linhas Aéreas.
