Can I carry all this on?

[bobcat]

I am going to Discon fort he weekend and am planning on carrying on my small suitcase. I also know that I can take a personal item, a purse, as well but does it have a size limit? I have a WDW tote bag that I was planning on using but I am afraid it will be too large. It won't be full as I only plan on carrying essentials ( book, water bottle, snack, passporter, camera) but I will also be wearing my fanny pack for money, passes etc. Would that count as my purse?

The personal item cannot exceed 36 inches total. Here are USAir's Guidelines:

>>Carry-on baggage is limited to one piece per customer, plus a personal item such as a purse, briefcase, laptop, small backpack, diaper bag or camera case. The personal item cannot exceed total overall dimensions of 36 inches, and the other item of baggage cannot exceed the following maximum dimensions:

Valet Closet--4x23 1/2x45
Overhead Stowage--10x16x24
Underseat Stowage--8x16x21
Both items cannot exceed a total combined weight of 40 pounds. Carry-on baggage allowance may be restricted due to lack of space.<<

I carried on a medium sized Eddie Bauer bag as my carryon and then I had a leather backpack that I used as my purse. No one said a word to me. I think it would depend on how big the bag is and what it looks like. If it looks like a shopping tote, they will probably ask you to check one of the bags.

will also depend how full the flight is and what kind of premium they have for " overhead " bin space....

from what you are saying, there should not be a problem ( of course all airlines have different policies but southwest seems to be very "accomodating" )
