Heading out on a journey with just your carry-on luggage can be liberating—no waiting at the baggage carousel, no fears of lost bags—but there are still size and weight restrictions you need to follow.
Carry-on weight limits might seem like a nuisance, but if you don’t pay attention to them, you could be stuck with a nasty fee to check your bag.
Most domestic airlines don’t have any specific carry-on weight limits. International airlines, on the other hand, often have very strict restrictions, usually ranging from 11 to 26 lbs.
Carry-on weight limits vary widely between airlines, and the time to find out your flight’s restrictions is before your trip, not when you’re at the gate.
I researched the carry-on weight limits for 175 of the largest and most popular airlines worldwide to create a one-stop resource for you to determine how heavy your bag can be.
