I want to take my purse, laptop (for business), and a sm carryon. How can i manage that? don't know airline.

Answer 1

The standard carryon rules according to the FAA is one carryon, one small personal item. It sounds like you want to take three items, which is one too many. I would put your purse inside your carryon bag and keep any essentials (wallet, cell phone, etc) in your laptop bag until you get to your destination. A lot of airlines are charging for any checked bags, and this will allow you to avoid an unnecessary charge.

Answer 2

you are allowed to take both. i took a bag, a purse, and  alaptop on multiple flights and had no problem. they make you take the laptop out of your bag and put it in a bin to go through xrays.
