Is this not allowed on Emirates? Is it either a roll-a-board or a small-ish backpack? Similarly is it either a roll-a-board or purse, but not both?

Also, how much do they enforce the 7KG leaving JFK, and leaving DBX? My roll-a-board is probably quite heavy, but all my backpack has is a tiny laptop, some charging cables, a water bottle, an iPad, and a camera

Thanks
From my many flights in Y at different destinations and at DXB, it has never been an issue for me with a rollerboard and backpack and never had my hand luggage weighed. That being said, if for some reason they decide to strictly enforce this rule on the day of flight, they have every right to
