Hi Tiger travellers.

I'm curious to know how stringent Tiger is being about hand luggage - are they weighing it on check-in? 7kgs is apparently the maximum.

I know they've been strict on checked-in luggage, and charging excess for >15kgs.

Any information appreciated.

I flew Tiger Singapore => Macau a month ago,
the flight was 90% Chinese tourist. Apparently
a lot of people carried a lot on-board and Tiger did not check.

I think as long as it is not too big in size and you can take it
up the stairs it is fine...

Remember discount airlines HAVE TO depart on TIME,
so they won't bother to waste anytime on people....

Pretty much the same for JetStar Asia flight form HKG to SIN

I don't think that's really true. I know that Ryanair strictly enforces their 10kg carry-on limit. Often leading to the bizarre spectacle of people pulling everything they can out of their carry on and stuffing it into their pockets, jackets etc., then reversing the process once they've had the bag weighed.

Yet another example of people being seen to be doing the right (or appropriate) thing.

I’ve had hand luggage weighed recently after check-in (so, therefore, I’m assuming independent of the airline). This was departing MEL on QF29.

I have had carry on weighed before. Asked what flight i was on and could he see my boarding pass and took no further action as i was SG but still had a 13kg bag. He did give me a small hint to be careful though in future.

KateMayo,

I was about to make a similar comment. I've had carryon weighed at MEL for an International flight. It was after the big steel doors and prior to immigration. It seemed to be a random weigh for any one on any flight.

Certainly happens in Perth on international flights form time to time.
