    I am flying out of england with aer lingus at the weekend and i have 1 bag of hand luggage around 10kg.

    I was wondering if you can bring and extra bag.something like tesco where you carry it on your left hand and have the bigger bag on the right hand or am I just restricted to on.

    does anyone know if you can carry one small bag as well or is it just the bigger bag you can put through.

    Aer Lingus are more relaxed than Ryanair about handluggage. I have seen others with a piece of hand luggage and also a handbag/duty free shopping bag. Just as long as the second bag is not an oversized handbag or anything you should be OK I think. I guess the idea is that it'd be stored under the seat in front of you.

    Not relaxed any more. They've amended the details and there are different allowances for commuter flights

    Hiya, just flew from Dublin to London last weekend with Aer Lingus with two pieces of carry on (both ladies handbags, one with the usual purses, make up etc and one with a laptop and a few books) and they didn't say anything! Different story with Ryanair however! Hope your flight is flying as I am currently stuck in London and looks like I'm going to have to be taking an overnight coach tomorrow in order to be back in Dublin for Monday :(

    The last few times that I travelled through Liverpool airport there were staff checking before the security area and you could only have one piece of hand luggage no matter who you were flying with. They wouldn't let anyone through to security carrying anything extra - purse, handbag, everything had to go into the one piece of carry on luggage. Don't know if they're as strict in other UK airports, but that was my experience in Liverpool.
