Thanks. I won't have hold luggage, but my hand baggage is flirting with being overweight. Mainly I'm trying to avoid checking in at CAN, where there was a double hand-baggage weight check. Even if something similar exists at HKG, it cannot possibly be as rudely presented as what I experienced at CAN last year.
