Carryon limits to facilitate JNB to CPT connecting flight
We are traveling next week from Washington Dulles (IAD) to JNB (a SAA flight booked thru United) and then have a separate SAA flight from JNB to CPT (booked directly with SAA). They were not ticketed together.
We intend to carryon all of our luggage on the international flight. We each have a duffel bag and a small to medium size backpack. We were assuming we would have to check our carryon bags for the flight from JNB to CPT but from what I've read on this thread, that appears to be risky--either bags not getting in on time or arriving with items missing.
How strict is SAA on the carryon limits for a JNB-CPT flight? We have 1hr 40mins between flights.
