I will be traveling to Asia with EVA in December this year from SFO. I always take a carry on with me and its dimensions are within EVA's carry-on limits.

If anyone has traveled on EVA recently with carry on from SFO, do they still weigh the carry-on bag? The limit is 7kg and mine carry-on is typically 9kg.

I am not sure if my Star Alliance Gold status will give me some advantage or leeway with the weight limit. EVA will be an official Star Alliance member soon.

Thank you in advance for any feedback on my question.
