I want to be sure I am reading this right: I have never flown Emirates before, but we have flights from the US to Male (Maldives) through Dubai in a couple of weeks. Is it that we do not have allowance to bring more than one smaller bag on the airplane? I usually travel within the US, so I am used to being allowed to have a roller bag plus a personal bag that fits under the seat.

I know what I am reading, but I want to be sure I am right because we have two young kids and we want to take extra clothes, things to entertain them, etc. My son also has Type 1 diabetes and we need to travel with his extensive supplies and insulin. Do we get an allowance for that?

Thanks everyone.
