Next time you are in a aircraft, try to read the placard inside the bin that shows the rating of max weight the bin latch can take. On older A320series its 32 KG. I'm sure the risk assesment goes into play when aircraft manufacturers design overhead bins. The newer A320 and A330 bins have higher ratings.
Recently I have helped a woman put a trolley in the bin. How heavy it was! Even asked here if she is a geologist and had packed rocks.

Carry on enforcement at gate (FRA)
I have 2 questions:
- Do they often enforce the carry on rule at the gate at FRA? My flight is on E190.
- For the (EUR99) upgraded intra-European ticket, do the passenger get extra allowance FOR CARRY-ON?
- Do they often enforce the carry on rule at the gate at FRA? My flight is on E190.
- For the (EUR99) upgraded intra-European ticket, do the passenger get extra allowance FOR CARRY-ON?

My interpretation of this thread so far:
He is arriving in TG C and he has 2 carry-on.
He then has a flight in LH Eco. (Separate tickets???)
He wants to know if LH enforces the number of carry-on (= 1 in Eco) or should he buy the 99 Euro upgrade in order to have 2 carry-on without problems...
Or do I miss something here?

When you're flying Y and bringing two "max" hand luggages, you can expect trouble. Not guaranteed, but good chance they'll force you to checkin one (and that's rather costly at the gate)
An Up-Sell to C in this situation, especially if the other ammenities will be used as well (lounge, mostly
) might be a good idea..

That's quite a gamble..
An E190 is a small aircraft, so they might very well do general checks (in case they're fully loaded) and having 2 regular handluggage might very well make them scrutineer him more carefully if he's flying C or Y.. (Intra-Europe, probably more than half of those using priority boarding are flying in Y, especially on some routes)
And I'm fairly sure LH wants to make extra money from checked luggage, they've not introduced those Light fares for fun
All in all, it's a gamble if you try to sneak in two luggages - if OP is willing to take it, fair game. I'd just be ready in case they'll present him with a nice bill of 45€..

Lufstansa carry on rules
Trying to find the answer but can't find it explicitly. Flying economy from Florence to Munich to Chicago to Raleigh (last flight on united - so I know their rules). Can I take a standard carry on and a personal item? or am I limited to just a standard carry on?

(which obviously wouldn't apply on Light fares since LH refuses to honor the *G baggage allowance on those fares).
