For 80% of flights, your carry-on’s weight is like a rumor nobody confirms. But for that other 20%—especially on budget airlines, small planes, or international routes—it matters a lot. Always check your flight’s specific rules before you pack that ceramic owl.
When in doubt, remember this golden rule: Size is the sheriff, but weight is the deputy. Respect the deputy, and you’ll never be that person repacking at the gate while holding a suspiciously heavy souvenir.
So go ahead, pack your bag with confidence. Just maybe leave the anvils at home. Or, you know, wear them as a fashion statement. We won’t judge.
