Swiss International Airlines - Regarding Laptop and DSLR Cam - Handluggage

Hi

Greetings to all! Really new to the forum..
I am flying to Zurich from Dubai on LX243..Relocating to Zurich for studies for 2 years..I have a laptop and DSLR to take along..They weigh around 6 kgs together. Will these be counted in the 8kg handbaggage allowance or will it be excluded?

Have a good day!

I personally have travelled with laptop (in backpack) and separate DSLR-bag many times, and have never had anyone ask me to weigh my bags.

I would personally go for it!

In my experience they stop you only when you hand luggage looks big and heavy. As long as you have only small size bags you will be ok.
As soon as you have one maximum size carry on and one additional fairly big second item you chances of beeging stopped go up dramatically.
