For the past year I have flown weekly between Amsterdam and Spain (plus other trips to assorted other places), and I have not once had a problem carrying my Samsonite pilot case with computer, papers etc., and a small Domke bag with my cameras. And of course, by the time I get to the plane, I usually have a 3rd bag containing various liquid purchases from the tax-free shops :-) The airlines involved have been Transavia (subsidiary of KLM), KLM, Iberia and TAP Air Portugal.
