[Leica] travel luggage question

[Nathan Wajsman]

Officially most airlines (Easyjet is an exception) have a weight limit on carry-on (usually 10 kg but I have seen as low as 6 kg) but it is rarely enforced. I took something like 30 intra-EU flights last year and do not remember having to weigh my carry-on luggage on any of them.

Cheers,
Nathan

When we left NZ, with everything for a few months (my S kit and some others had been air freighted beforehand) we had 2x suitcases within weight, my camera bag (+10kg), laptop bag with 2x laptops and an iPad, plus my partners handbag. It looked like they were weighing hand luggage so I distributed much of my M kit around my pockets to try and get within weight for the bag! When it came to it nothing was weighed, thankfully, but you do get variations with different airlines.... My partner flew Wellington > Auckland then Auckland - Shanghai with a Zippo, but from Shanghai to Charles de Gaulle she had to remove the flint!

Our questions concern carry on bags, number and size permitted for men and women, for international travel. Can we each take two carry on bags, one for camera stuff and the other, in my case, a bag for computer , tickets, etc, in the case of Tara either that sort of bag, or a hand bag which will include iPad, meds, tickets, paperwork  etc?
