Carry on baggage plus laptop bag
Hi everyone,
in a few days I'll be travelling to Japan. With Cathay I'll be flying from Frankfurt to Hong Kong (CX288) and then from Hong Kong to Haneda (CX548).
It's the first time ever that I'm going to fly so I don't really knew all procedures, so sorry if the question is redundant.
In economy class, the check in baggage is up to 7kgs.
I can bring my normal check in baggage plus my laptop bag. The question is: Will it be 7kgs for the baggage plus the laptop bag or do they count together so the two together can't exceed 7kgs? The cathay pacific page is not that precise and googling it gave me different answers.
Since the empty case and the laptop bag togehter are almost 6kgs, that'd be pretty tough...

They rarely weigh your luggage. Technically all carry-on combined should be 7kg or less, but I believe if you have a carry-on of 7kg and a laptop bag of <4kg, you should be okay. If the bags looks heavy or if the laptop bag size is large, then that may be different.

There is an art to carry-on bags. I have carried more than 25kg on board in the past. Just make it looks like 5kg as you walk up to check-in and the security gate.
