I am leaving my home in 4 days for this trip and I have just realized that my carry-on bag is bigger than the specifications provided by Tauck for the internal flights. I have been so focused on weight that I didn't even notice that my standard TravelPro carry-on is 23" vs 20" limit. Even our smaller carry-ons which we bought for the smaller regional European airlines are 21". Can anyone tell me how strict the internal flights are when it comes to the weight and size limits? And do you think I can get away with calling my "TravelPro Soft Tote" as my purse or personal item? (The Soft Tote is roughly the size of a 1960s era choo choo bag and fits under the seat.) What are the repercussions if they do not let me carry it on the plane? Do they just make me check it and charge me $50 or something?
