If someone is going to a wedding, and taking a suit in a suit carrier, then that's their allowance and they can't carry on anything else.

In case this wasn't clear, I was responding to QatarNor (who was enquiring about taking a suit as his ONLY carry-on item) and Lousie (who suggested that he carries on everything - which of course he can't on this occasion)

Enforcing Weight Limits for Carry-ons (LBC)
Thought I'd add to this thread rather than start a new one just to post this one piece of information...:
I discovered this morning that Ryanair now systematically weigh every piece of carry-on baggage for flights departing from LBC (Lübeck, Germany). They have installed a permanent checkpoint just before security where they check boarding passes and weigh baggage - you can't get past the checkpoint without putting your baggage on the scales.
I don't know if this is airport specific or if they've started doing it elsewhere.

They have a weigh-station at the entrance to their pier at STN, although due to the volume of pax not everyone is checked.

I flew Ryanair from East Midlands and they didn't weigh any of the hand-luggage. They only made a couple of people place theirs in the basket thingy too.
I think they only pick on you if your bag looks unusually large or heavy. They seem to know what will and won't fit in the basket thingys so most people will be ignored.
Was a bit annoyed they didn't weight any of the bags though; I took all my books out my bag after a big panic that it would weight too much, only had a couple of magazines to read on holiday!

I used to prefer Easyjet, but they're getting a lot stricter these days too. They don't care about the weight, but they are really hot on the "one bad per person" thing, and recently decided that laptop bags count as bags (for several years my husband would get away with a rucksack + a small laptop bag, but not any more).
