Weight doesn’t count for luggage allowance when it’s on you

Luggage weight doesn’t count towards your allowance when it’s on your person or in your hand luggage. Many travelers focus on the weight of their bags, but wearing or carrying your heaviest items can help you avoid overweight fees.

If needed, wear or carry your heaviest outer layer, like a jacket. This is especially wise for often-freezing plane cabins. By doing so, you can keep your checked luggage within the weight limits and make your travel experience more comfortable and cost-effective.
