Does Eurowings weigh carry-on bags?

score:3

Accepted answer

Nobody weighed my bag, nor was there any sort of carry-on sizer or scale at the gate in Hamburg. Nobody even looked at my bag at all, as I didn't stop at the check-in counter (online check-in and mobile boarding pass), and they use electronic gates for boarding.

I did see some people with "carry-on approved" tags on their bags, presumably affixed at the check-in counter, but I never got any such labels and nobody noticed or cared.

Don't rely too much on previous answers: Today in Düsseldorf when checking in my suitcase they weighed my carry-on, and in a quite impolite way she made it clear that they do not tolerate a weight of 9.4 kilos instead of their allowed 8 kilos - and she seemed to enjoy to execute her power. Unfortunately, for this destination I had no alternative to Eurowings.

Almost every time, nobody seems bothered about the size or weight. However...

I've had my carry-on weighed once, back in the days when everyone queued up at the check-in counter with a paper ticket. They put a carry-on approved label on it, and it was OK for years afterwards.

I've also had my carry-on declared "too big", even though it is one of those officially sized as carry-on, and even though I protested, they wouldn't consider checking that it fitted in the cage or was within the weight limit. "It's too big... gotta go in the hold" - end of argument.

It's not impossible. On a recent Eurowings flight from Heathrow to Hamburg, my carry-on was weighed at the gate. It was not on the return journey from Hamburg, however.
