Air China: Carry-on luggage
Hello,
I'm a new member here and wanted to know if someone here has flown with Air China from JHK to PEK to BKK. If so, how strict are they with the 5kg (11 lbs) carry-on luggage weight limit? I flew China Eastern from JFK to PVG to BKK last year and they didn't weigh anyone's carry on luggage. I'm flying out next Saturday so any responses would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Young

Been on CA many times and they haven't even glanced at my carry on, let alone try to weigh it. Typically I have a 20" roller + PC bag attached to the handle. The PC bag with supplies and magazines (reading materiel) probably weighs the 5kg alone. For that matter, none of the mainland Chinese airlines that I've flown have cared.

Economy Carry on luggage
How strict are they with the number of carry ons (one for economy tickets)? Can I bring on one rollerboard and a laptop bag?
Are they serious about the weight limit for checked bags (no more than 10kg)???
Thanks!

They don't measure or weigh bags.
If you have like 3 bags, they probably won't care. Carryon with a personal item is normal for most airlines.
If you have a big bag at the very least make sure it fits in the overhead sideways. A lot people carry big stuff so board early.

Interesting comments, thanks.
What are the official rules from Air China for economy (I understand that they're not always checked).
Is it
A) one carry-on of up to 5kg plus a personal item like a laptop that is smaller than the first and also less than 5kg (10kg total)
or
B) one carry-on plus personal items weighing no more than 5kg together
Thanks also if you can provide any link confirming this.
