Well, this thread was started in 2014, so hardly new. The cabin baggage allowances are :-
First Class and Business Class customers are permitted two pieces of carry-on baggage: one briefcase plus
either one handbag
or one garment bag. The briefcase may not exceed 18 x 14 x 8 inches (45 x 35 x 20cm); the handbag may not exceed 22 x 15 x 8 inches (55 x 38 x 20cm); the garment bag can be no more than 8 inches (20cm) thick when folded. The weight of each piece must not exceed 7kg (15lb).
Economy Class customers are permitted one piece of carry-on baggage,
either a handbag
or laptop bag, that may not exceed 22 x 15 x 8 inches (55 x 38 x 20cm) and must weigh no more than 15lb (7kg).
