We will be traveling on Virgin in October (actually a code share with Continental out of Newark), and we were wondering how strict Virgin is with carry-on baggage (size, weight, or both?). We only plan on taking our Rick Steves ETBD backpacks and don't want to check them. I know Continental is very lax on carry on baggage and we're hoping Virgin is the same. Any experience with this out there?
Thanks,
Kim
Virgin Atlantic-- carry on allowance?

They didn't allow me to take on more than 6 kilos this June, irrespective of the bag size. However, I abided by what I was told at the counter; it appeared as I was seated and watching others board that some where bringing on very large and heavy pieces without being stopped.
Kim, I got this off Virgin's web site:
Only one item of hand luggage is allowed in the cabin and it must be able to fit under the seat in front of you. It must not be larger than 23cm X 36cm X 56 cm (9in X 14in X 22in) overall and it should also not weigh more than 5kg (11 lbs).
