Carry-On luggage allowance

jos_kel

Son and I are travelling from Dublin to Manchester on Saturday.

Carry-On luggage included but it doesn't specific the maximum allowed weight or maybe I haven't read the small print enough?

I'm guessing 10-12k but just want to make sure as I've got stung before.

what does the mystery airline's website say ?

Aer lingus says "Carry-on bag included".

Will ring them if necessary to elaborate.

Just thought someone might know off-hand.

If it's aer lingus then it should be 10kg.

Aer Lingus charge for carry on but will check it in for free

New 10kg Bag Options

Applicable on Aer Lingus flights within Europe 

We've changed our carry-on bag policy and now offer two different ways to bring your 10kg bag on your journey.

If you would like to take a 10kg bag on board with you and your booking does not include it, you must book a "Carry-on bag with priority boarding" online from €5.99/£5.99. Alternatively, drop your bag off at the check-in desk or bag drop kiosk (available in Dublin, Shannon and London) when check-in opens and collect it again at the bag carousel when you land. This option is free.

If your booking includes a carry-on bag with priority boarding, you must take this bag on board with you (please see below for details).

A small personal item (handbag or laptop bag) is still included for all customers.

The Aer lingus personal bag size for underseat stowing is 33x20x25 cm compared to Ryanair 40x20x25. I see plenty of ads for things like Ryanmax that fit the 40cm limit. Has anyone suggestions for where I could source a 33cm bag? I've searched Amazon but gave up after pages of ads for cabin bags or Easyjet or Ryanair sizes.

Also, any opinions on the " IT World's lightest " 55cm bag at €55 from Argos? Only 1.65 Kg.

What does Aer Lingus consider to be a 'laptop bag' and how strictly do they enforce it on Dublin - Heathrow ?

I've got a laptop backpack in which I can also fit a change of clothes but not much else. But my laptop is 36cm long so needs a 40cm bag.

With the current baggage mayhem, I'm not going to check it in. But I'd rather not pay €36 extortion to carry on a small bag, just because Aer Lingus are trying to profit from bag-loss-worry caused by the airline industry.

Having flown with them last week. I checked their website. All the info is there.

I checked their website too OldRio. Did you have a laptop? Did you pay to bring it on board?

Aer Lingus Regional

I’ve never had weight or size of bags checked by aer lingus. I fly to UK regularly. I use a soft carry on bag, but it is proper big and normally much more than 10kg, plus a small backpack or laptop bag which is pretty packed as well.

Has never been a problem so wouldn’t get too fixated on weight

OldRio, apologies if I'm not being clear. I've been able to read what's on the Aer Lingus website. I came on here asking for actual experiences of anyone who has travelled on Aer Lingus recently with just a laptop and whether they checked it in/paid etc. Just to repeat, in case it's not clear. I don't need any Aer Lingus links or website content.
