Is a labtop a carry on ?
I'm flying spirit from Chgo to Ft Meyers, I usually fly SW, but 57.00 round trip made me switch. I have one carry on bag and purse. Is a labtop considered another carry on?
Thanks. Can't get thru to the airlines to ask.

Check carry-on bag vs. personal item definitions for your specific airline, as some may consider a laptop a carry-on item, others may consider it a personal item. American Airlines and United, for example, both consider a laptop a personal item (see http://tinyurl.com/2sddl4 and http://tinyurl.com/ab7kq).

I was thinking since it was misspelled more than once that maybe the OP really thinks that it is a labtop.
You know how you hear things and don't see them in writing so you don't realize or think about how things are spelled then when it's pointed out to you, you're like "OH" ?

Linda, here is their carry-on policy ... Spirit Airlines customers may bring one (1) carryon bag plus a personal item (such as a purse, briefcase, or laptop computer) on board at no charge.

So you can't bring both the purse and the laptop as a personal item ... either check the other bag or, as most other posters suggest, slip the purse inside the carry-on bag.

Your laptop can be your personal item - in which case you get one carry-on (but no purse). If you have a purse as your personal item, then the laptop is your carry-on.
So - if you want a purse use a larger laptop bag and put in your computer plus whatever else you want to carry on.
