Can I bring a skateboard on board my Southwest Airlines flight as a carry-on item?

Southwest Airlines allows passengers to bring a skateboard on board as a carry-on item, as long as it fits within the airline's size requirements for carry-on bags. According to the airline's website, the maximum size of a carry-on bag is 10 x 16 x 24 inches.

If the skateboard is within these size limits, it can be stowed in the overhead bin or under the seat in front of you. However, it is important to note that Southwest Airlines may require that you check your skateboard at the gate if the flight is full and overhead bin space is limited.

It's always a good idea to check with the airline ahead of time to confirm their specific policies regarding skateboards and other carry-on items. You can also find more information about Southwest Airlines' carry-on policies on their website.
