What is a personal item? Some airlines give examples, and suggest that a personal item may be :

Briefcase

Camera

Handbag/Purse

Laptop (in carry bag)

Other items not exceeding 36" in total dimension

Reading Matter

Small book-bag style backpack

Umbrella

I love the vagueness of "Other items not exceeding 36" in total dimension" and the fact that it is not the last item on the list.

That's what I'm angling for--garment bag, laptop bag, small backpack.

I think that they'll make you check the garment bag.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Huh. How tall do emperor penguins get, anyway?

Emperor Penguins are 3.5 feet. Too tall.

Crap.

How tall are they when they bend their heads down?

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Timelies,

Why the hell aren't most of the users on vacation today. I came in expecting a slow day and the phones have been almost non-stop.

Thrive to spite them

Some airports are more relaxed than others. At the Airport here you can take on 2 items only and w/a garmet bag, a laptop bag, and a backpack they'd make you check 1 bag.

I've seen the gate agents make passengers repack their stuff so it's two items. Including making women put their purses in one of their carryons so they have 2 items.

I think that they'll make you check the garment bag.

Yeah, somehow I think a garment bag would be harder to get away with than those standard black wheel carry-ons, since they can't fit under the seat and usually get put in that special closet up front.

On the other hand, I find that if you look supremely unperturbed by what you are carrying, they don't look twice.
