are hand baggage rules enforced?
I travelled cph to Arn yesterday and checked my usual hand baggage as they said lit was 8kg, others on the flight had similar luggage and there were no checks at all
Is this usual as I am travelling arn to Ams today in sas plus and would much rather not check my bags
Thanks for your help
Btw bag is normal size and allowed on every other airline I've used! Also it is on top of my laptop bag

Unless you bring something very unusual in size or weight I would say it will be allowed, so based on how you describe your luggage I would not be worried. Have never experienced scales at ARN unless you go to manual check in desks.

Never had any issues with hand luggage, whether in GO or PLUS, but I do second the above statement and in particular, I find it appaling when people travelling in GO put their extra hand luggage in the PLUS bins when passing through, as if it was the most normal thing in the world!!!

As long as it isn't oversize by significant measures it will be fine. I've NEVER had the weight checked on a SK flight (only ever with LH group and low cost carriers).
One piece of luggage and one personal item (e.g. hand bag, laptop bag, briefcase) is allowed on most airlines incl. SK.

They checked our handluggage at check in at cph several weeks ago when we were flying to pvg, no check at the gate though.
They were spinners suitcases and my kids kept their sleeping friends with them.

They do that a lot if you have a larger piece of hand luggage with you at the check-in desks. Never seen them check at the gate though.

Was pushing the limits weight-wise for hand baggage on a R/T ARN/FRA/KWI a couple of weeks ago. No problem on the way out, but the airport in Kuwait does not support online check in for LH flights and the check-in agent weighed my (not oversized) roller. 11kg was 3 too much, and the flight to FRA was nearly full, so it got checked. First time that I can recall having to do that.
Of course, being able to pass through 3 checkpoints with X-ray machines in Kuwait with a bottle of water and beeping machines with nobody paying much attention was interesting, but that is another subject.
