Virgin Atlantic carry on question?
Does anyone know the deal on how big a carry on bag you are permitted to bring on board?
Had a horrible experience on Virgin,I flew from JFK to Heahtrow on a FULL flight and brought a carry on aboard weighing about twenty five pounds plus a little bag of goodies weighting perhaps 5 pounds.
Returning to JFK was told by the Virgin agent that I could only bring aboard a 6kg bag. That's about 14 pounds I guess.So I had to check my bag,what a DRAG.
The equipment was an A 360 the same as the flight from JFK but this time the flight was empty.
I could have brought on ten carry ons.
What gives?

The last time I flew Virgin weight limit for carry on was roughly 13 lbs. I checked my luggage but coming home from London many people in the check in line in front of me and to shuffle around their luggage and put carry on stuff in the checked luggage. Can't remember a problem from US to UK. But coming back they were really strict.
