[QUOTE="JALAN JAUH, post: 150302, member: 8654"] Hi Angela, It is impossible, in my travel experience, to give an objective answer to the carry-on rules on airlines because of the subjective way the rules are interpreted in different countries by different persons, and also by who is supposed to police the rules. I traveled on Vueling from Heathrow to La Coruna and upon check-in was asked by the counter person to have my backpack weighed as I had no baggage to check into the hold. It was just below the weight limit, I had weighed it carefully beforehand to avoid any last minute drama. Imagine my pleasant surprise when she asked me if I wished to check it into the hold, I asked how much I would have to pay having been pinged for an exorbitant amount for last minute luggage check-ins with other LCC's. She said its FREE. I did not believe my ears and asked her to repeat it again. She said sure its FREE! I declined reluctantly having spent so much effort to get it right, so she gave me the carryon label sticker. On my way back I flew by Ryan Air from Santiago to Stanstead, I had an internet boarding pass printed beforehand. I waited in the long queue and upon finally reaching the checkin counter was told that as I had no luggage to check in I could leave the queue and go straight to the Ryan Air office opposite the check-in counters. I went to the Ryan air office and as I was one of the two passengers there in a few minutes had my boarding pass validated and travel documents checked, then told to go to the boarding area. Nary a glance at my bag nor were there any facilities to check the weight at the office. There were no strict checks on hand carryons during the boarding at Santiago due to the quick turnround of Ryanair, more passengers carried two pieces of cabin bags than those with one and the cabin crew were quite helpful in finding a place for the second bag. One never knows what to expect so to save the last minute dramas just stay within the rules. [/QUOTE]
