Myair baggage allowance
The website for Myair states that the carry-on baggage allowance is 7 kg (about 15 lbs) and that only one bag may be carried on. So do they not follow the usual rule of one bag + one personal item?
Anyone have experience with Myair?

This is not an answer to your question, but I have been doing a lot more flying (domestic) lately - - and these "rules" for domestic flights in ths US are clearly a contributor to the confusion when Americans fly abroad.
The "personal" item (purse, briefcase, computer in case) can now be virtually a second carry-on. I stuff all kinds of books and magazines in my computer case - - at times, it probably weighs over 7 kg itself! And with more and more small planes, I never check anything, since a "rollaboard" is going to be gate checked, with little or no regard for its size. It's pretty much like the old days, when you could take 40, 50 or 60 pounds as "carry-on".
And similarly, I almost had a little panic in Hawaii last week when I got to the Aloha Airlines counter and saw the <i>surcharge</i> table for exceeding the baggage allowance of 50 pounds - - I had 63 pounds and my wife had 56. I was scurrying to re-shuffle stuff to get her back under 50 pounds, when the counter agent looked at me oddly and said - - "you do know it's 50 pounds per bag, don't you?" (we had "carry-ons" of 20+ pounds and rollaboards to check at 30+ pounds each - - we were nowhere close to the 50 pounds <i><b>per bag</b></i> limit!)

MyAir's free allowance, according to the English and Italian versions of their site, is 15kg per passenger. Where do you get the 7 from?
The usual rule in virtually every country in the world in 20kg free allowance per passenger.

I don't think that this is the question, flanneruk. "molly" wants to know if a 7 kg "carry-on" will be permitted AND a "purse" (or other "personal item" presumably of only 1 or 2 kg) without exceeding the <i>carry-on</i> limit.
