I don't know why this keeps getting posted everywhere. Workers have a lift limit the extra cost is for the extra person to handle the bag.
Cabin bags have a weight limit too
Cabin bags have a size limit, but I've never seen one weighed.
Yes, often around 10 kg. Depends on the airline I guess. Though I never saw them check.
Apparently a standard carry on is about 45 cm³, or 1.60 ft³. If you fill it with water, that would weigh about 45kg/100 lb.
That would be a lot of 100ml containers...
Carrion can be well over 1000kg and 5m... Depending om what type of animal we're talking about.
Like an elephant?
Yeah, I like elephants
With barbecue sauce?
Depends on how shitty the company is. I've seen it a few times in a couple of decades of travel tbh
I always assumed they were weighed going through the scanner.
The scanner's part of security, which is potentially shared between multiple airlines with multiple cabin bag weight limits, so it wouldn't make sense as the place to weigh things. It only works if it's done somewhere airline-specific, like check-in or boarding.
In all airports that I've been through (all in Europe), the scanners for people + their carry-on luggage are from the customs agency, so from the government. They won't check or enforce any airline weight limits there. The airline may still ask to check the weight of carry-on luggage at the gate, but I've never seen it as an automated process, only as spot checks.
Hmm, perhaps. Good point, but I've flown enough that I should have seen someone flagged for overweight bags.
