Does anyone know how strict they are on this, and, if they weigh luggage?
I'm travelling for six months and don't really want to have to check in luggage.
For starters - its SQ and not SA (that's for South African Airways).
And as a newbie, no need to do this
... as the limits are stated as such. For most places, you may be allowed the standard rollaway. If you intend to pack a 'normal' carryon for a US traveller, then you may be surprised that in many places outside the USA, this is not permitted. eg Australia ! But for other places, you may be asked to check it in. And why not.. SQ has impeccable baggage allowance (30kg) in coach, and handling.
