Virgin Atlantic hand luggage - unusual shaped bag
Comments

My experience is that BA are not as strict checking carry on. I have flown Virgin PE four times in the past 9 months and each time have been asked to present carry on at check in. The last time was in March and I as asked to used Upper Class check in and they too asked to see the carry on and tagged the bags.
it is a gamble if you try to take something outside the dimensions.
Even within airlines there is no consistency. I do LHR-JFK most months with a cabin suitcase and laptop case on VS, normally PE, and never been asked to show my cabin bags or had them tagged.0
