Hi Liat-
First of all I hope hubby is mending nicely.
Second of all, there is currently a discussion on Trip Advisor ( and disagreement) as to what you are allowed as carry on in Economy class. ( don't fly it so I do not know)
You are definitely allowed one piece BUT are you also allowed a personal item, ie. pocketbook or briefcase. If so, what are the allowed dimensions of this second piece. I know the website says a computer has to go into the one piece, but a pocketbook is different. I am talking more of flights from TLV to the USA
Thanks for the clarification.
note: if Liat doesn't respond, if anyone else wants to take a stab at this, please do.
