Good thing they didn't ask me to put my 15kg backpack on the scale.
I don't know why they care but apparently its something they care about greatly.
Safe travels.
yeah, 8kg is the max listed on LH (and also LX). Not only does the size matter, but the weight as well.
I looked at UA's website, did not see a weight max for carry-on.
*G probably has nothing to do with Y-class carry-on (aka hand-luggage), at least what I have been told by LH / LX, the number of carry-on allowed was determined by ticket class.
my backpack is also >10kg (with laptop), so definitely glad I never get asked to weigh that piece.
