This thread needs to be re-awakened.... keep the reports coming of where 'small bags' are checked! It's all useful information, as useful as flightradar24
Where are the regular spots where the Gate Dragons measure and weigh 'small bags'?

I have no sympathy for those passengers who take the mickey (you see this at every gate line), but I do think the new measurements for a 'small bag' border on the silly. A few more centimetres in all directions and the bag will still easily fit under a seat. I'm fine with the 8kg weight limit though, that's plenty to be carrying in a 'small bag'. Drink a litre of water before boarding and that's another 1kg!

And if weight is so important, why don't airlines insist everyone go to the toilet before boarding? 300 people having a wee would save 150 kilogrammes - that's the equivalent of 8 large suitcases. Think of that 'carbon footprint' that would be saved!
