Is it possible to check-in a small bag which is usually used as a cabin bags?
score:3
Accepted answer
Yes. I have seen small bags that could have been carried going around on the baggage belt. I have personally checked a bag larger than a purse, but small enough that it could be carried on, on several occasions with several different airlines.
Some important considerations:
- can you close it completely and securely? If you mean "handbag" like the North American word "purse", not all such bags zip shut, they may just have a clasp. You need to make sure nothing will fall out no matter how the bag is turned, dropped, thrown etc.
- Does it have prominent handles (as some purses and backpacks do) that might catch on handling equipment? If so you should work out how to constrain them - bungee cords, wrapping in plastic, or the like
- lithium batteries, including spare laptop batteries or external batteries for phones, are not allowed in checked luggage. If you have such things you will need to move them to whatever you are carrying on.
- You may be charged a fee for each bag you check
Other than that I don't expect a problem. I have yet to meet an airline that had a minimum size limit for checked bags.
