It is Virgin … as usual nobody road tested this, or adjusted relevant web pages.

Not sure how many others did NOT get any emails on this, but was all news to me until I saw this thread.

No-one seems to have addressed how one rollerboard bag above 7 or 8 kilos, shared between TWO pax will be treated.

My wife and I often travel with 1 bag as it is far simpler. And of course takes up HALF the overhead space, others will then be able to use.

Once the shiny new TEMU gate scales are in operation, will staff be empowered with a common sense and allow a 10 kilo bag for 2 pax...

Personally, I check my wheelie bag, as I have osteoarthritis in my right shoulder and really can't lift a suitcase that high. And I don't expect others to help me lift it.

I just take a tote bag on as my carry on. And it goes under the seat. And then I sit and just watch everyone else try to find space..... It's amazing how much stuff goes up top.
