multi-carrier itinerary
One quick question regarding enforcement of carry-on luggage limits on multi-carrier itineraries. Booked an intra-European LH flight followed by a transatlantic AC flight (main segment). The AC carry-on rules (Y) are more generous than what Lufthansa allows, in weight, size and pieces of luggage. Will I have to comply with LH rules or will AC rules (Most Significant Carrier) trump LH restrictions?

For hand luggage long before NEK I saw passengers connecting from US flights denied boarding at FRA on intra-Europe connections with their oversize, American dimension bags unless they gate checked them.
I expect that with NEK it will be similar, but more common, to see gate checking of hand luggage from connecting long haul flights.

Just another reason to avoid LH/OS completely. I've never flown with a more dickish airline ever than OS. Trying to check into a flight on OS at Kiev was a nightmare. Got me an old woman who clearly remembered the Soviet days, implementing Austrian rules.
Worst of all possible combinations.
YOU WILL COMPLY WITH OUR ARBITRARY AND MEANINGLESS RULES EVEN IF THEY DO NOT APPLY TO YOU

Every second gate agent at american airports is much like that. So why complain?! Next time comply with rules stated in your terms and conditions.

Will this comply with their rules?
It is 40.6 cm Wide X 26.67 cm Deep X 53.3 cm Tall.
So it is .6 cm over in width, and 6.67 cm over in depth.

Frankly, I wouldn't risk anything which even appears to be over. My Travelite Delite which is one of the lightest carry on in the world still gets hard looks from the carry on checkers. Yesterday it was definitely too heavy and bulging, and I was frankly fully expecting to give it up even though it still fit the size requirements.
Luckily I managed to escape the eye of the checker as they were more interested in people with larger bags.

Anyone have experience with baggage handling at KIX? I'm planning on going to Universal Studios Japan that day and don't want to waste any time, but I mean I don't think it is really worth spending money on new small bags.
