The guy next to me in Elite on LHR-TPE was asked at check-in to reduce his hand luggage to 12Kg. He would have checked in in the normal area as he doesn't have status.

I will be traveling to Asia with EVA in December this year from SFO. I always take a carry on with me and its dimensions are within EVA's carry-on limits.
If anyone has traveled on EVA recently with carry on from SFO, do they still weigh the carry-on bag? The limit is 7kg and mine carry-on is typically 9kg.
I am not sure if my Star Alliance Gold status will give me some advantage or leeway with the weight limit. EVA will be an official Star Alliance member soon.
Thank you in advance for any feedback on my question.

my experience has been that EVA is not strict on the carrie-on weight limit, it is quite strict on the checked luggage allowance. there were several incidences where i had to remove stuff from the checked luggage because i was 1-2kg over the limit to avoid the fee.

I just got off a TPE to LAX in RL 3 hours ago and not even asked about my two pieces I carried on and one is a 22" roller board. 4 flights in the last 11 days and no issues at all with luggage.
Everything service wise was great except the BKK to TPE flight yesterday. Flight attendants were laughing and spaced out on service. If that was my first flight on them I would never fly them again but the other 3 flights the service was great.

[EDIT: just realised it couldn't have been BR68 as you said you were in RL. BR68 is still PL.]

Does anybody have any experience for strict hand carry weight limits after they officially joined *A? I am planning on flying JFK-TPE in the new business class and really don't want to check it in.

Never once ever had a problem - I fly royal laurel class and have no special Eva Air status.
