Specific Question About Cabin Baggage Allowance for First Class
 

Hi All,

I have yet another question and, as always, any help is appreciated.

As you may recall, I will be traveling all of August on a Oneworld Explorer First Class ticket.

As this is a long time away from home, I am planing on taking a 28" rolling bag, which I will check for my flights. I also want to take my 22" roll-on to carry a change of clothes and my toilettry kit. This I want to carry-on. I also want to take what Travelsmith calls an underseat companion bag, to carry books and my laptop (for trip reports). Of course, I want to carry this on.

My question is, will I be allowed to carry both the 22" roll-on and the underseat companion onto my CX flights as a First Class passenger?

The flight most important to me is CX 873 (SFO-HKG) as I will be in transit at HKG to NRT (CX 450) and want to shower and change clothes in The Cabanas.

Thanks!

Shouldn't be a problem. I've carried 2 carry-on's [laptop bag + a leather duffel of ~18"] on to multiple CX flights in J/F. 3 pieces, actually, including the folding hand-cart. No FA or GA has ever stopped me.

CX has recently reissued its carry-on rules.

See here: http://www.cathaypacific.com/intl/pr...ge/0,,,00.html

For First Class they are:

- one bag not exceeding 22" x 14" x 9"
- one garment bag or soft bag not more than 8" thick

together these two plus your duty-free if any can be up to 15kg (33lb)

In addition you can carry:

- one briefcase and
- one laptop

each not exceeding 9lb in weight.

Plus handbag, coat, umbrella, camera.

So I guess you should be alright. If the "Underseat Companion" looks like a laptop bag and weighs less than 9lb then certainly no problem.
