Delta carry-on baggage weight limit
Could anyone give me the URL for Delta's carry-on baggage weight limit? I called Delta and confirmed that the weight limit is 40 lbs or less (international, Asia to USA) but cannot find that information in their carry-on baggage website (https://www.delta.com/traveling_chec...ryon/index.jsp).
Thanks.
Thanks.

I've never seen Delta "forcing" a weight limit on carry-ons.
If it fits(over head bin), it flies.
Now if you happen to bring 70~80 pounds bag on board and place it in the overhead bin, and if the bin fall down apart, you are going to face rather serious consequences
FYI, typical bin can handle about 50~100 Kilos of weight per compartment.

There has been increasing concern from aviation safety groups - particularly in the UK - due to the push for more and more carry-on to go into the cabin and the largely unregulated nature of the weights.

Here's a hint your carry on is too heavy... YOU can't lift it over your head. Doesn't matter if you are male, female, old, young etc... YOU lift it and deal with it. If you know it's too heavy for you don't depend on the "kindness of strangers" CHECK IT! Stangers don't want back injury from your junke!

Foreign airlines seem to get very excited about weighing your carryon if you go to the check in counter. I have never in my life ever had a carry on weighed by an American carrier

An advantage of using a back-pack instead of a roller.
I have never had my pack weighed even in places where the carry on nazis were prevalent.
It also carries more than a roller and can scrunch up in a bin as needed.

I was going to use my backpack as carry-on because I'm used to international flight airlines that have a 15 lbs and below limit. However, when Delta phone CS told me the limit is 40 lbs, I thought "Wow, I can bring my roller and not have to carry a heavy weight on my back."
