I'm taking a flight, leaving on Continental Airlines and returning on American Airlines. I'm trying to make sense of their huge list of baggage guidelines. I have one bag with clothes and my laptop that fits in the overhead (regulation size) and a small bag (size of a camera bag) that I will carry over my shoulder. It has my Nintendo DS, my anxiety medicine, and some DVDs. Will I be able to take both on both airlines without any trouble? I was hoping I could just put the small bag under my seat. Also, does carry on get charged a fee? This is my first time flying and I really want to be prepared!
Thanks Iffy and Lizzy, you answered a lot of my concerns 
American and Continental do not charge for carry on bags - they only charge for checked bags.
You are allowed 1 carry on and 1 personal item (purse, brief case, etc).
You will be able to take both bags on both flights. Depending on the aircraft you may have to check your larger bag plane side. If you are on a turbo prop or a regional jet your bag may not fit. When you are boarding the aircraft the flight attendant will give you a tag to place on your bag and they will stow it underneath the plane. When you exit the plane you can claim your bag on the jet way. You do not claim it down in baggage claim.
