What did passengers typically bring on the flight?
Heavy luggage
Only a small handbag
Pets
Cargo shipments
Answer
In the early days of commercial aviation during the 1910s and 1920s, passengers were typically allowed to bring only a small handbag on their flights. This was primarily because the aircraft were small and had limited storage space, especially on the first commercial flights during the 1910s. As a result, passengers needed to pack light and prioritize essentials rather than bringing additional items.
