re. carry-on baggage weight limit
I too have never had my carry-on weighed. HOWEVER, here in Denver, United
Airlines has thrown its WEIGHT around and gotten templates installed on the
X-ray machines to the exact maximum dimensions allowed for carry-ons. And since
the scanners are at the entry for all the terminals, your carry-on must pass
through them even if your flying on another carrier. There is no room for
compromise, even if you buy regulation sized bags they can fail if you overstuff
them or catch on external handles or pockets. You only find this out as your
entering the terminal so if your bags fail, its BACK in line at check-in to
check them. Further, since you can fly into Denver without having passed through
the templates at another airport, people leaving Denver are in for a nasty
surprise when the same bags they carried-on in-bound are rejected at security.
