While USA-based carriers will allow 2 bags of various sizes (including my camera backpack and rolly-polly), KLM would only allow ONE SMALL BAG-- and neither my camera backpack (LowePro Rover Pro AW) or my rollypolly. Some creative repacking was immediately required. Air China from Japan to Shanghai only allowed one small carryon due to "security reasons." But *from* Shanghai to Narita, they allowed two. Odd.....
