Welcome to the Advocates' Peru Tour website.

Here you can keep up to date with the activities of our group of advocates as we travel to Peru from the 5th to the 16th of February 2008 to see the work of Compassion.
Advocates are sponsors with a heart for our ministry who volunteer some of their time on an ongoing basis to promote Compassion in their churches and within their spheres of influence.

The team will spend time meeting staff and children in projects, visiting the homes of Compassion sponsored children, seeing how the country office operates and meeting formerly sponsored children. We will try to update the site each day whilst we are in Peru and we hope you find it interesting. Enjoy!

Smaller hand luggage from Gatwick on Continental

Hi

I'm very confused over hand baggage size regs but I think my brand new EU / BA size bag will be too large for the US and our flight from Gatwick.
Continental from Gatwick seems to have a smaller size allowed of only 114 linear cm.

See
http://www.continental.com/web/en-US/content/travel/baggage/carry-on.aspx

I dont know how strict they are but I'd be gutted mine had to be put in the hold!

Does anyone have any frequent traveller insider info?

O dear I don't know. My bag for onboard is fairly small. I know with Aer Lingus & Ryan air they only allow something small so I'm just going with that. I'm flying with them to meet ye all all in London. Sorry I can't help you, maybe someone else knows more...
God Bless,
Maria

Hi Zandra. I still think that sounds not bad. 45 Linear inches is L + D + W which could allow you a bag size of 24" + 12" + 9". It still sounds a pretty big bag that will allow up to 40lbs weight. Measure your bag dimensions and if they add up to 45 inches you should be okay - unless I'm reading it wrong. I'm taking a small rucksack but I don't imagine it would hold 45lbs weight.
