Do you lovely members know if Thai airways are checking the weight on the hand luggage at Heathrow??

Many members report that they have not had their hand luggage weighed, while some indicate that it can happen depending on the staff and circumstances.

It can happen at any time by any airline. I had it happen to me by Asiana in Korea. She said my bag weighed to much either take some stuff out or go to the counter and check it. We walked away and I looked back noticed and she was walking away and being replaced. The new lady didn’t say anything as we walked past her 🤪

I have never had a backpack or hand luggage checked for weight anywhere. They have a scale next to check in and always check my suitcase but never anything else.

Depends on the capacity of the flight, the weight of the passenger the mood of the crew and so many other parameters

Thai Air have never checked mine and have used a few times this year
Rob **********
You never can tell, I have had it checked before at check in, and sometimes no. Always depends on the individual checking you in, but the rules are the rules so don’t go over your allowance.
