Has Qantas changed the carry on baggage allowance?

[medhead]

I'm sure the qantas domestic carry on allowance used to be something like 2x 105cm bags weighting 7 kgs plus a laptop extra. Whereas now it is 2x105cm bags of 7kg each (total 14 kg), with no mention of extra laptops, so the laptop is included.

Has this changed or is my memory of the rules wrong?

Well I could be wrong about the 7kg for 2 bags, but I definitely remember the laptop being extra and I can't find that now.

I thought it was one 7kg bag and a personal item.

For Qantas Jets the limit has been 2 x 7kg/105 cm plus a personal item for quite some time.

There have been some revisions recently. I note than now one is permitted 1 x 115cm in lieu of 2 x 105 cm.

Forget about airline imposed limits, IMHO, 2 x 105cm AND a lap top bag would be too much to carry.

I agree with you about being too much to carry, but I have recently had to start carrying a CPAP as well. This has caused a real headache. I was carrying a 105 and small backpack with laptop. Now I have the same 105 cm bag and a 85cm bag with CPAP and laptop. Trouble is that either way my total weight is like 15 kgs. (and i find this too much to carry) I can't carry CPAP and small backpack and 105cm bag as that is 3 items not 2. Despite the CPAP and small backpack being smaller than the 85 cm bag, and easier to stow. I'm sure there was a listing to say that a laptop was extra, which would be helpful for the 14 kg limitation. I must have been mistaken.

BTW CPAP counts according to special handling for domestic, as it can't be used on the flight and hence is not "needed" for the flight. (or something like that)

Thanks for the links, mostly about international, but helpful all the same.

Sounds to me like you need to carry the laptop in the backpack and the CPAP in its 85cm bag, and check-in the 105cm bag.

The 85cm bag easily accommodates the CPAP in it's carry bag and the laptop. Looks like I just need to adjust to the 105 and 85 bags.

I wish that there was some consistency. One day at the boarding gate with one undersize bag, I get a weight check (flying J). Then next flight there were people coming on not only with oversize bags, but also more bags than permitted. I had to stick my little bag under the seat beacuse all the overhead space had gone!

someone on my flight had a massive bag. I can't believe they got it as carry on! Luckily they were down the back, but they stowed it in one of tif bureocsfs
