insisted I check one of the bags....
Wrote CX and got a silly form letter reply - guess it didn't help that I'm Asian!
Perhaps that was because your small backpack did not belong to one of the following:
* An overcoat or shawl
* A small handbag
* A briefcase (no more than 4kg or 9lbs in weight)
* A notebook or laptop computer (no more than 4kg or 9lbs in weight, including case and accessories)
* A small camera or a pair of binoculars
* An umbrella / walking stick / crutches
* A "forward facing" infant car safety seat for ticketed child (aged between 6 months and 3 years) or infant bassinet or cot (that can fit on fold down shelves and can be properly secured)
* Infant food and nappies (for consumption in flight)
* An infant collapsible pushchair (if cabin stowage is available)
