I haven't been on a plane since early 2001. If they say you're allowed 1 carry on and 1 personal item (which includes laptops and camera bags), are they gonna give me fits if I have a camera bag and my laptop bag but no official carry on?

Last time I flew it was 2 carry ons 2 things you could check. Is that specific to the airline I flew, or is that a general rule?

Some airlines only allow one carry-on, but if you call one a 'personal item' they'll let you slide. Basically it has to either be small enough to fit next to you, or to fit under the seat in front of you.

I didn't know there was a limit. I usually have a backpack and a purse, though sometimes I'll have a laptop thing as well. Nobody ever said a word to me. This is the first I hear of a limit.

I'm flying Delta, and that is what it says on their website. Maybe it's just one of those things that airlines don't enforce.

When I flew to the mainland last summer for my daughter's wedding, I had two large suitcases (checked), a rolling carry-on (just barely under the maximum size limit), a laptop, an overnight bag, a purse, a moshi pillow and a HUGE bouquet of tropical flowers. I flew from Maui to Honolulu and then to Seattle with no problems, but the security screeners in Seattle made me "combine" things before they'd let me go through. I had to stuff my purse and the pillow into the overnight bag. I already had the flowers in the pocket of my rolling bag.
The only other comments I got were on the flowers I was carrying. I had people chasing me down the terminal wanting to know where they came from.
