I have a big problem .
traveling with AirChina this weekend from copenhagen to japan.
But their limit on carry on is 5kg, one bag.
My laptop plus charger alone weighs in at around 5kg. Then i need my powerbanks also on the flight.
My question to you is, what is it that they measure. If lets say, i have the powerbanks in my jacket, does that count as carry on weight?
BIG thanks!
No they won't care if they're in your jacket.
You could probably get away with it in your carry on because they most airlines don't weigh it unless they look suspiciously large.
I've gotten away with a few kilos overboard on my carry on many times before.
Also, a lot of airlines don't consider a handbag or small backpack carry on - you could bring two bags if you wanted to and probably get away with it quite easily.
At the end of the day, you're only gonna lose some pocket change if they charge you for the extra weight.
Ok, thanks alot!
Not so experienced with flying. Sas is alot more specific, one bag plus laptop bag. 8kg.
But airchina, one bag 5kg. those three kg makes a big difference.
But thanks again, feel alot more calm now :)

Yeah, don't worry :)
Like I said, they will only charge you for the extra weight and I doubt it would be very much.
Do you have check on?

Check in baggage? Yeah, one bag up to 20kg i think it was.
ATM my carry-on is heavier than my check in bag (Y)

Just throw the charger and any other unnecessary junk into the check in, honestly.

+1 for just shovingextra shit in your pockets. I have made bag weight thisway before.
Another thing you can do, if you are significantly over, is remove stuff from your bag, then put it in after you weigh it. They will only weigh it at checking, and if you have say, a travel buddy, be could hold some of your stuff while you check in.
