Hmmm. See if you take a pillow on the plane, like a normal bed pillow, do you reckon they'll count that as a carry on piece of baggage? I never know. I sort of have to fly with my laptop case and my camera case (not a compact camera so can't pack it), neither of which I could check in anyway. So I reckon they count as my baggage and cant take a hand bag or anything pillow-esque. Or, am I being ridiculous? Comments please.  |

Even an air canada employee wouldn't count that as any part of luggage (yet  ). You should be safe with it. |

If they try to count it as a carry on, just stuff it under your shirt. |

| No, it won't count as carry on. You can bring a blanket too. If they say anything, which is doubtful, say it's for therapeutic reasons. |

| Stuff the laptop in the pillow case. Tell the flight attendants it's a protective case. |

| Your laptop won't count as a piece of luggage, it's a personal item, like a purse or briefcase. You can have one of those. A pillow and blanket don't count either. |

| Actually, I had a problem with one airline that said my purse counted as one carry on,so I stuffed it in the pillow case and went through. |
