FR doesn't weigh carry-ons.
After several days, one FTer says they do weigh carry ons even if you have FR priority, another says they don't. Honestly I don't know the truth so I'm playing it safe. Ryanair creates a needless stressful situation for well-intentioned travelers who try to get as much advanced information as possible yet still has so many grey areas that even expert FTers can't be in agreement on. This is a company best avoided. Sticking to the legacy carrier.
