Marcie,

You're right they allow an extra 20lbs in first class but the difference in airfare was approx. $500 for 1 hr. flights . I also checked with AA for mileage tickets but they didn't have availability with my dates.

Reagarding the carry-on, they're very strict about allowing only one . I usually bring a big tote on wheels where I put all my toiletries( which are many! :rolleyes: ) , documents, books and at least one pair of shoes.

Question for you ladies: when you bring a regular rectangular 22" carry-on ( or similar), do you put your make-up /other toiletries there? Or do you just use it for clothing? If so, where do you carry your make-up / toiletries?
Maybe I don't pack the right way confused

I guess, worse comes to worse, I'll pay their excess lugagge charge ( 3 euros per kilo) :( .

I would appreciate any help/ suggestions to maximize what I can bring to Iceland/Spain.

I'm sending back to the US in Icelandair with DH 2 suitcases( the maximun he can check) and hopefully he won't mind bringing a
carry-on with him as well!


Thanks for any suggestions
