Have I got this right?
BAA have now said that two carry-on bags can be taken through security at Heathrow. The usual size restrictions apply, of course.
However, Virgin still only allow Economy and Premium Economy passengers to carry on one bag. Upper Class passengers are permitted two.
Up until the latest restrictions were put in place and everyone (including UC) was cut back to one bag, everybody (including Econ and Premium) was allowed to take a cabin case PLUS another bag e.g. handbag, laptop, briefcase etc.
If I'm reading the website right, VS rules are now that, unless in Upper, you cannot carry a case and a laptop/briefcase.
Is there any reason, other than a naked desire to push people to travel Upper, that Virgin have decided not to restore the two bags rule to other classes?
Of the airlines which could take me to Narita next week...
BA allows two bags out of Heathrow in any class, JAL two bags in any class, ANA I can't work out, Aeroflot will I think let me take two.
Only VS restricts me to a single bag in Premium.
Unless I've read VS's rules wrong (and I would really love to be corrected on this), this really, really hacks me off, I'm afraid. I think it's very, very cheap and nasty.
