Airline Questions......
Hiya couple of quick questions>
Can anyone tell me whether you can take a suit as hand luggage with your one piece of hand luggage?or do you have to pack it into your case. I have seen people holding their suits with their luggage but wanted to find out for sure.
On.........Etihad and Continental Airlines....
Also does anyone know what Continential airlines are like? And what is A First I presume its a class of travel but the internet website seems to have no infomation on this and what you get for it? All i found was someone saying they had boiling hot soup??? so cant be that good!!??? ..........

Re: Airline Questions......
I think all American airlines are equally bad.
I have carried a suit through, no problems but that actually was my only piece... but like you I have seen ppl with a suit plus strolleys or whatever, certainly in DXB. I have no idea how strict they would be elsewhere.

I have never been turned away by any aline with just a suit carrier. Whether they will allow you two pieces depends on local rules and regs I think.

Re: Airline Questions......
First class on an american carrier equates to say economy class service on Emirates or Singapore airlines...

Continental isn't too bad - I flew tyo JFK with them last year. More room in economy and way more comfortable than on Emirates.
Business class (flew back biz) not too bad but not fantastic

Re: Airline Questions......
You have a much better chance of taking on hand luggage plus a suitcarrier if travelling business or first class, as these sections have 'wardrobes' so such items can be hung up during flights.
Of course, you could always ring the relevant airline & ask them.....

Re: Airline Questions......
Ive just rung Etihad now and for future reference ...Business Class ...two pieces of hand luggage can be taken on in addition to one piece of check in luggage.
Suits can be carried on as a second luggage item....
Ok thats sorted ..........
Cant find about first in Continential airlines no contact number and their webpage does not state suits???? Have found one with a map of their plane and it looks a bit pants...just extra legroom, free drinks and fed more often than the riff raff in economy...Not that i'm complaining I'm not going i'm home alone and if i was it would only be in the riff raff section....

Re: Airline Questions......
Twink,im pretty sure that with continental the A first is just another grading in 1st,and entitles you to all the usual.As far as the hand luggage goes,you are allowed 2 items,but im not sure if a suit bag is too big but you may be able to pay a small charge to get it on.Ive emailed a friend who works with them all the time so he will confirm it.As soon as I hear from him i will let you know!
