Zucca bag and backpack as carry on?
Hi everyone,
We're travelling to New Zealand via Egypt Air, Air China and Air New Zealand. Due to time constraints in transit we have opted to take only carry on luggage. We have 2 Zucca bags and a Zucca backpack which fits on the Zucca roller bag - is it possible to take them all as carry on? 2 Zucca bags, 1 Zucca backpack - 2 persons. Any help much appreciated!

I don't know enough about the sizes of the bags, but the quantity is ok. 3 bags for 2 people is fine since the backpack, assuming it isn't huge will be considered a personal item. If the two bags fit the carry-on restrictions which you can read on your airline's website, you'll be fine

i see lots of people bringing along a rollaboard w/a briefcase size personal item which can hold a laptop....
my wife varies the size of her "purse" up to a fairly large shopping bag....
of course, both of y'all could take 2.....
the airline sites should have info on this...

I'd check each airline's policies to be sure - not all non US airlines allow 2 pieces carry on, some will allow max 1 bag, as little as 5kg weight - no idea about China or Egypt Air tho, sorry. w
May also depend what class.

Thanks for your replies. I checked each airline's website and unfortunately for economy class it's basically one carry on per person with the exception of Air New Zealand you can also take a slim laptop bag - the Zucca backpack is anything but slim. Should we risk it? Worst case scenario we check in the backpack right? We're emigrating on one way tickets, maybe they'll give us some leeway? Egyptair is usually very good about these things but not sure about Air China and Air New Zealand - has anyone tried them, are they as strict as Lufthansa about these things?

Legal connections at airports are supposed to include baggage being transferred too I think!

I'm really stressed at the moment about it but also very worried about baggage delaying us in any way. I've heard Beijing airport is huge plus the language barrier and I've also heard Sydney airport is rather intimidating as well so we're stuck with what we've stuffed in our Zucca bags (they take a surprising amount of stuff). We'll buy necessities on the other side and hope & pray our container doesn't take too long
