Carry On Baggage Allowance - VA International Short Haul (J Class)

[SuzieQ68]

Question, and my apologies if this has been answered elsewhere. I did do a search, but didn't come up with anything.

Travelling VA International Short Haul in J and wondering if VA allow J passengers to have 2 x 7kg bags as carry on? I know EY & SQ allow this, but just wasn't sure about VA and the website isn't quite clear - shows 2 pieces at total weight of 7kg.

Clarification would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks, Suz

It's 7kg total, not 7kg per item, regardless of whether you're travelling in J or Y.

Not technically correct. From the Virgin website:

In addition to the carry-on baggage allowance, one of the following personal items may be carried in the cabin:

• A laptop computer*, handbag, pocketbook or purse (of reasonable size)
• A wrap, a blanket, or an overcoat
• An umbrella without metal points, or a walking stick
• A small camera or pair of binoculars
• A reasonable amount of reading matter
• A pair of crutches or prosthetic devices – for use, provided that the guest is dependent on them for mobility

*A laptop in thin satchel-style laptop bag is considered to be a personal item. A laptop in a larger laptop bag will be counted as part of a guest’s carry-on allowance.

Many thanks for the clarification. A little frustrating given that I will be transiting to an SQ flight, guess I'll just have to take less, shop more....
