Last minute Carryon questions

[kristytru]

We are flying Continental with carryons only because it is a short trip. Each of the 4 of us have one wheeled carryon suitcase (meets measurements and weight) and one "personal bag". We would like to bring our laptop by putting it in a sleeve and then into one of the personal bags. Is this allowed or does the laptop count as a personal item in and of itself? I know they sometimes ask them to be screened separately which is not a problem, but don't want to be over my baggage limit because of this.

No, as long as the laptop fits into one of the bags you have, it's fine. The laptop will need to be taken out for screening, but you shouldn't have any problems.
