CARRY ON ALLOWANCE QUESTIONs:
This is my first DONE 4, in fact first time any distance in J (apart from a surprise op-up BNE-LAX in 2007 from an O-fare!), so forgive the newb questions. Rather than start a new thread, some questions on carry on luggage for this trip: I've checked the AA,BA and CX sites which say I should only have one 45 inch bag as carry on (plus smaller laptop/handbag )
I'm planning taking two 45inch bags. I can have those as carry on for MEL-LAX with QF:
a) would I have to check the second for BNE-MEL (it's a 0555 flight...),
b) how strict are AA in A for the other US legs? I'm most concerned about the BWI-DFW-SEA- DFW (45 min turnaround in SEA) when I'd prefer to have both bags as HLO....
c) Will BA allow two 45 inch carry on bags transatlantic, or within Europe (could leave 2nd bag in Heathrow for the LH-MAD-LHR rapid turnaround side trip (2hr turnaround in MAD, unless I can get earlier).
BNE-MEL(QF)-LAX(QF)-DFW(AA)BWI (2 days in DC)
BWI-DFW-SEA-DFW (all on AA, then overnight in DFW)
DFW-MIA-LHR-MAD-LHR (all on BA, then 1 day in London)
LHR-HKG-BNE I'll check one bag, but for future info would CX allow two 45 inch in J?
thanks
