What does Kuwait Airways allow in passenger's cabin besides a carry on?

Upvote:4

I typically travel with a backpack (sized to fit a 14" laptop) and a small roll-aboard suitcase. The backpack has never been a problem and neither was the suitcase provided the fare did allow one (which many low-cost fares these days do not).

This being said, Kuwait's rules as written technically would not allow this so you may get flagged by a gate agent. Hard to tell upfront. Please also note that the total weight of your carry on is limited to 7kg which is VERY little. If you are travelling for more than just a couple of days, it's unlikely that 7kg will be enough for your stuff (since even most lightweight suitcases already weight about half of that empty). If you need to check luggage anyway, I would check all of it and just take the backpack in the cabin where you can either put it under the seat in front of you (uncomfortable for a long haul) or in the overhead (if you find space).

This all depends a lot on how strict the airline will enforce the rules. This can vary all over the place depending on mood of the day, recent airline policy, how full the flight is, etc.

My carry-on has definitely been weighed occasionally. Lufthansa group used to be very strict about this but has now eased up a bit. American carriers typically don't care. I don't know about Kuwait specifically.
