Flying Delta from DTW to Seoul and Thai Airways from Seoul to BKK and BKK to KTM.
I am checking three bag. All weigh 52 lbs
and have a 20" roller weighs 32lbs and a laptop bag. Do you think I'll be in problem.
Sorry just signed to ask this and also if anyone flew the same route does my bag go the the destination straight or do I have to claim it in the baggage claim when I change plane. (Oh BTW all the flights are in one ticket)
Thanks again.

TG is usually very generous with the carry on! so it should not be a problem
Flying through Seoul, you can check the bags through (guess Delta has a interline agreement with TG) and you do not have to pick them up in Seoul
in Seoul you are in transit and have to go through a security control (but not immigration)

My guess is that if DL allows it, TG certainly will. Perhaps read DL's website for info.
I have never flown Y on TG, but in J and, especially, F I have brought loads on board and no one has ever said anything. Even ex NRT/HND where the Japanese ground staff (ANA employees) are a bit stricter with rules than the Thais are, being Japanese

--- been answered by kapitan on another thread ----
sorry for asking the question again, i asked on another thread but no reply yet, just wondering will business class (no star alliance status) passenger get 2 pieces of carry on ? both of my carry on will weigh 6/7kg each and i will have another small handbag as well, cant check in one of the carry on as i've already 40kg in my luggage :-)
i will be flying from MEL - BKK then onwards to KUL, if that matters..

Any update here? We'll be flying Thai Airways likely in economy. Will the standard US domestic carry on baggage (23 inches height vs 22" per allowance) be okay? Do they really check the weight of your carry on bag? (I was flying out of Manila one time in PAL, and they weighed everyones carry on. I had to put more stuff in the check bag.)

at most destination, TG does not weigh carry ons, at least not systematically and usually they are rather generous. I have seen passengers carry several huge bags with all kind of stuff in it on domestic flights....
I would not be worried

They do not care about US standards of luggage size
