I remember many flights from Hong Kong and Singapore, watching in amazement as people carried on ‘hand luggage’. On on flight two men struggled to carry their hand luggage down the aisle – it was a brand new stereo they bought in the departure lounge!

mr-crash: they do, all airlines have a size as well as weight limit, just that some are enforced more than others.

I don’t think weight limits for carry on baggage should exist. I do think size ones should. It always annoys me when I can’t put anything in the overhead compartment because someone elses baggage is half the size of a porta loo.

True in a way — though it would simply never happen if I stuck to major airports, which is what I’d do in that case. Strictly speaking, the requirement was that everything *fit* in one bag, which it does. Even without the camera, I don’t think it’d be possible to get to the 4kg weight limit (though the 7kg broader one might come close.)

If this was a reality TV show, and the rules of #HLO strictly enforced, you would have to ditch items to stay under the weight …
