Can I take a backpack and a small suitcase as carry-ons?

Question

I'm flying AirTran for the first time and I'm nervous about them losing my luggage. I'm not familiar with them at all.

Can I take a backpack (inside will be my laptop, magazine, wallet, etc.)

and a small suitcase BOTH as my carry-on?

Answer 1

Women are allowed to bring a purse (which is your case in your backpack) and a carry on as well. Just make sure it fits the weight and length requirements so they don't make you check it!  

Answer 2

yepp.

Answer 3

On most airlines this is ok, but you should check their web site to be sure because a lot of them are changing their policies.

Answer 4

The standard requirement is one carry on plus one personal item.  If it's a small backpack, yes.  

Also the standard permitted measurement for the carry on is 45 linear inches (length plus width plus height).  

Answer 5

Yes, your small backpack will be considered your purse.  Then, your small suitcase your carry-on.

Check the airlines for baggage policy

Answer 6

I don't think so, due to the fact that they will probably consider your backpack as your carry on luggage, but then again it all depends on the airline you're flying with.  I would highly recommend calling the airline company yourself and asking them their opinion on the matter.

Answer 7

you can take one purse and one carry on. The purse can be a bag for laptop etc. so a backpack should be okay. Check with your airline to be sure cuz you might get charged for an extra bag if you are wrong.
