I last travelled in the USA in August. I was able to take my small laptop bag and a smallish backpack (ie two pieces) of carry on then - about ten legs in total with no issues.
I see a number of threads stating that the US are currently only allowing a single carry on. This is impossible for me or my wife. She has a small medical emergency bag with a few live saving drugs, her handbag and an overnight bag to freshen up at LAX.
If we are forced into a single bag each, I will need to go buy a replacement larger laptop bag for myself, which will take more room than my two little bags, and freight more stuff including my current laptop bag. But it will comply with the single bag per person edict.
Are they being hard core about the single piece requirement? Is the 8 kg total limit being enforced? We are transiting through that special bit of Hell on Earth called Tom Bradley @ LAX, followed by a longish wait at Terminal 6 or 7 if that makes any difference.
