Virgin Atlantic personal carry on item

[LauraRose]

Bit of a long shot posting on here but wondering if someone can help me. I’m due to fly to Orlando in 2 weeks from the UK and flying with Virgin Atlantic. I have my cabin bag which I’ve always used with no bother but I’m struggling with my personal item. It says on website I can use a handbag but the bag i want to bring is a backpack. It’s not huge but I don’t want to get there and they tell me it’s too big for a personal item. Has anyone used a backpack? Have inserted a imagine.

*ignore the upside down logo, long story short I got a faulty one and they were sold out, open for suggestions if anyone knows how to fix *

I can't speak specifically regarding virgin atlantic, but airlines I flew on, is that they permitted two items, a carry on bag and a personal item. The latter needs to fit under the seat. Using that mentality as long as your bag fits under the seat you should be all set.

Yes, that's fine.

It's hard to gauge the size from the photo, but "small backpacks" are specifically listed as an acceptable personal item on Virgin's website, so I see no reason you'd have any trouble with this bag.

Try checking out the matrix here -> https://carryonguy.com/airline-baggage-rules/ should cover most of the airlines.

Thank you all! I should be okay as definitely fits under seat!

If it can fit under the seat in front of you comfortably, along with your feet, then you should be fine.
