Can I bring a carry-on for my flight from Dallas to Toronto?
Hey there. I'll be traveling to Toronto for the 4th of July weekend. I haven't been Canada in 15 years. And I have NEVER traveled to Canada by plane. Can I bring a carry-on for my flight to Toronto? Someone told me that carry-on bags are not allowed for international flight from the US. Also- My checked bag will contain only my personal clothes, some toiletries, and a digital camera. Will I have to declare all of those when I go through US/Canadian customs? What if I buy a shirt as a souvenir while in Toronto. Will I have to tell US customs about that, too?

wow whomever told you that has problems. You can bring a carry on (regular sized) bag and a personal item (something that will fit under a regular plane seat purse, briefcase etc) and you won't have to worry about it if it's in a carry on, also if you buy a shirt it's just like you brought it, I don't know where you got your info from but please don't listen to them ever again

Absolutely you can have carry on for your flight. The only thing you need to watch is the size of the bag. Check the airline website for maximum dimensions. You need to be aware though that certain items must go into your checked baggage. Again the airline website should have a list of items that you can't carry onto the plane with you. While you're on the flight you will be given a Canada Customs declaration form to complete. It will ask a few simple questions that you'll need to answer. Personal items such as clothes, toiletries and a camera will not be an issue. When you return to the States you'll go through a similar process in reverse. You'll get a US customs form on the plane to fill in. Bringing a souvenir T-shirt back to the States will not be an issue. Check the US Customs Service website to find out the maximum $ value you're allowed to bring into the country without having to pay duties.
