Does Eurowings weigh carry-on bags?
I am flying on Eurowings (from Hamburg, if it matters), and I'm planning on taking a standard international-size carry-on bag that fits within their dimensional requirements. However, their website states a maximum weight of 8kg. My bag weighs 4.2kg empty, and I'm expecting it to be stuffed fairly full, so I'm not certain it will be under this limit.
Do they actually have any process to weigh it at the gate, or are they likely to accept my bag if it is simply the proper size? I am not planning on stopping at the ticket counter, as I can check-in online.
Best Answer
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.

Answer 2
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.
Answer 3
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.
