Anyway, I took out some bare essentials out of my check in bag, got them into my carry on and let her check the bag all the way to my final destination.
For the last leg, I checked in my carry on at DXB and the agent accepted it without any issues, but he did check whether the total weight, including the first bag I checked in, would come in under the allowance.
