Flying with a baby - can I take a nappy bag AND my own carry on bag?

Just that really - flying to Canada on Friday, nappy bag is full of the usual, will the airline let me have my own bag as well? We're flying with Thomas Cook I think...

Ta!

Bump? Anyone? I'm packing now, we're leaving in the morning!

Check with the airline website..they all vary.(Baggage allowance)

yes you can usually

My experience is that no, you can't, especially with the charter and no frills airlines like Jet2, easyjet etc. When I flew to Italy with my toddler I had to put my handbag in the change bag- I had to really stuff it in. What a pain.

Sorry, US, but you can't. You have the carry-on allowance, but your baby doesn't.

Thanks for the info, damn, I'm never going to get it all in the change bag! Last minute re-think required...

Why doesn't baby have a carry on allowance? All airlines I've flown with allows a bag for the baby

Easyjet has a strict one bag policy.

With other airlines, not sure, but I've got away with a handbag and a carry on bag before with BA.

You could always take a very large carry on bag and put nappy bag inside with all your other clobber.

Don't think so. If you pay for a seat for the baby then you would get allowence. If baby is in a bassinet / on lap you have to stuff your handbag into their changebag till after security.

Scheduled airlines will mostly let you take two bags - the charter airlines don't.
