Jetstar-esque carry-on experience with Qantas

[FlyingKangaroo]

Every time I get a notification on this thread, I keep thinking the same thing: "If only airports could page not just passengers over the PA system, but self-awareness too."

The OP's behaviour in the situation was weird enough, but it's the decision to then post about it publicly that really cinches it. Far out.

Thanks for sharing your experience, Zips-Numerate-Viscosity.

I'd be very surprised if you were in any way flagged by QF because of this event.

post about it publicly

I dont think an AFF post is posting it publicly despite the following that AFF gets. We all have anonymous usernames.

I learnt its 2 x upto 14kgs with one no more than 10... when I had thought it was 7

4 IS TWO TOO MANY

Ive seen people carry 3. 4 if you include all the extra clothes they have on.....

Ive carried more than that but have always limited carryon to 2 pieces. But its not possible to post on AFF, check emails, send messages, search flight alternatives in case of IIROPS, check flightaware24, check seat /upgrade availability, while eating salt and pepper squid + drinking a bev, while trying to mind 4 carryons.

Fair enough, I can clarify my point: to me, posting about it at all and expecting anything other than an ego check says a lot about the OP. Again, perhaps that's just me. Judging by the reaction, perhaps not.

I think you are right there

Anonymity does allow one self to post without the usual filters that accompany public comment - say in a room of people.
So it comes without surprise that replies also come without filters.

Or it's just a troll post.....

Possibly a wind up going on here

Agreed, definitely a wind up.

Carry-on luggage is INCLUDED in the price of the fares

I've just read this thread. Presumably the OP was not expecting these responses given he hasn't bothered replying. Thinking 4 carry on items is acceptable is ridiculous .

Staff are definitely patrolling more. I had to checkin today ex West coast which was fair enough as carrying an EK goodie bag too

Got the below tag for a domestic…didn’t do much but looks fancy
