Hi 784,

We used to use the bathroom scale until I bought the luggage scale. I find it much easier to use.

The airlines have started to weigh carry-ons. I have seen them do it numerous times and just the other day they weighed mine. NWA lowered the weight limit on carry-on bags to 30 pounds. My carry on weighed 31.5 pounds and they let it go through.

I hope they NEVER and I mean NEVER weigh people. I will post your question on one of the professional organizations I belong to and will let you know if anyone has more information than I do.

If you are an elite member of an airline the weight of your check in luggage is usually higher than for the rest of the public. This is given as a perk for loyalty to the airline.

Enjoy the day.
