I am very confused, I will be flying from Boston to London on virgin airlines. I went on their site, and was a little confused about the carry on limitations.
I want to bring a small rolling carry on, for my clothes etc, and a backpack. I do not want to check in luggage until the way back home. I will be traveling around europe for 3 weeks. so you get why i want to bring a small amount of stuff.
Now what i am confused about, I know the carry on luggage have to be 13 lbs. But what about a purse or backpack, can it be up to 13 lbs as well???

the site, was a little confusing for me. any advice, info would be great! :D
thanks! ciao
