Airlines - Carry Ons
mbttuks, I was wondering something... the air transat says one "carry on" does that mean your purse is your carry on and nothing else or are they counting that as a purse and perfectly fine. One of the reasons why we liked Iceland Air was that even their economy price (which is cheaper than the ATS) offered two checked bags at no cost, plus a carry on and a purse. We're trying to do this move without shipping anything (hahahaha!) or at least minimizing it where possible. But a carry on AND a purse/handbag is absolutely a non-negotiable. I don't want to have to dig through a small suitcase to find things like passports and stuff!!! No thank you! LOL!
Blessings, and thanks in advance! |

Re: Airlines - Carry Ons
We were told with Virgin that the handbag counts as the carry on unless we stuffed it inside our main carry on. :eek: I think it depends on the airline.

they don't always enforce this. I always fly with Virgin and carry a large handbag and then also have a carry on bag and I have never had a problem.
See, there you go! :thumbsup: |
Re: Airlines - Carry Ons
I know when I flied Air Canada, my handbag wasn't my "Carry On" bag. But then I saw that and got worried. I know that Iceland Air does include 2 checked and 2 carry on... but I guess I also have to consider moving within the airport with two kids in the wee hours and all that luggage. Hmmm... well, good news is, I have time to think this through! LOL! Thanks for the info! :)

Re: Airlines - Carry Ons
Some handbags/purses are so big they should be treated as checked luggage:lol:

Re: Airlines - Carry Ons
This company will send your excess baggage from Canada to the UK, great if you are travelling back on your own with kids etc and too many bags. They are a good alternative if you aren't shipping furniture etc but have too much stuff to put on the plane yourself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9dhBFLJEwU

Re: Airlines - Carry Ons
In my experience, it doesn't just vary by airline, but also by airport: KLM allow a handbag & a carry-on on transatlantic flights, but Teesside airport (UK) only allows 1 piece of carry-on baggage.

Blessings, and thanks in advance! Funny language difference - in Oz a purse is just the small thing you keep your coins/credit cards in - I was wondering how you were going to keep your passports etc in such a small thing! I get it now :D |
