Excess carry-on fee ~$20

Mangoes are allowed both as carry-on and in checked baggage, as long as weight limits are respected and the fruit is packed to avoid damage. A box works well.

A practical method: get a box from Fix Price store, wrap it in cling film, make a handle with tape, and carry it on board as hand luggage. Up to 5 kg caused no issues.
