JFK to TXL - does airberlin actually weight carry-on and hand luggage?
I know there's tons of questions like these, but since it's pretty specific to the airport, has anyone travelled with airberlin out of JFK? Did they weigh your carry-on and/or your hand luggage? If your luggage was overweight, were they lenient?

1 data point. Flew from JFK this past Jan, did not weigh my hand baggage in either direction.

Never seen them checking the baggage weight...
Note: last time I flew with hand baggage only, TSA has not accepted by mobile B/Pass. They said this was the instruction they were given by AB. I had to go back to the check-in counter to get a paper copy.

Flown on AB many intra-EU flights when I was based out of TXL and never been checked a single time. Might have been lucky, YMMV.
But the risk of it being checked at JFK vs TXL is much lower.
