Thank you for your replies. Last year, I used this carry-on, but on Klm. They allow 24 pounds, or a bit more. I really did not put much in there , but like I said...the case weighs 7 pounds empty. I’m bringing a backpack, so I will just check it and switch some clothes to that, if the say anything. I’m more worried about not being able to check in the night before, because they have to see our cc. I did a lot of research picking our seats..haha
