Can I bring a carry-on suitcase and a laptop bag as hand baggage?Yes, but only if you’re travelling in Upper Class.
If you’re travelling in Economy or Premium Economy, you can only take one piece of hand baggage on board. So, if you want to have your laptop bag with you, you'll need to check the other bag in.
Please be aware that if you do this and you’re already checking in another piece of baggage, you’ll need to pay an additional baggage fee.
Take a look at our hand baggage and excess baggage pages for more details.
To save time and money you can now purchase extra baggage online.
I have always taken 1 carry on bag and my Laptop in another bag and this has never been a problem!! Have the rules changed recently as the last time I flew with Virgin (June 9th) this was not a problem and I am flying again in 2 weeks and need this clarified that this wont be a problem now
