Sorry, I did a quick search and didn't find anything and I need this info ASAP. I usually have to check something, but this time I think I can get away without doing so. The United rep I spoke with was very vague about this and I couldn't pin him down for a more precise answer.

I've got one carry-on, which I know is ok. It conforms to the 9X14X22. I'm also told I can additionally take a laptop. My laptop is rather big (17" screen) and it came with a backpack as a carrying case. It's not one of those huge hiking backpacks or anything, but it is rather big. I can fit the laptop and a lot more in it.

Can I get away without checking anything? I'd really appreciate some quick info on this. Sorry if this is posted in the wrong place. Thanks.
