In plain English
This means the included baggage is for bags taken into the cabin, not bags handed over to travel separately. It describes a fare or booking where the baggage allowance stops at carry-on.
In context
Here, it labels a fare or baggage option that includes carry-on baggage but no checked baggage.
- Situation

Meaning limits
By itself, the term says only that checked baggage is not included, not any further details of the baggage allowance.
