It's usually stated on the website, as well as with the "fine print" along with your ticket.<br /><br />It depends on the airline whether or not they weigh your bag.

I've also had my bag weighed (while entering the jetway!) by Air France. This time, LAN didn't weigh our bags, but we were totally ready in case they wanted to!Ali Ambrosiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00521627345210424042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11955271.post-47986331269514290552010-08-14T16:45:40.548-07:002010-08-14T16:45:40.548-07:00I meant to ask you this when we had lunch, but the...I meant to ask you this when we had lunch, but the carry-on weight limit is new to me.
