JFK to SYD Question

[zorrosuncle]

Hi --

 

If I book a flight via HAL on American from New York to Sydney with an overnight in Los Angeles, does American's carry-on weight apply for the entire round trip, or does that of Qantas (its flight operator) apply -- it is only 11 kilos. If American's weight limit does not apply, I will try to take United from JFK to Sydney via SFO, instead - I need to carry my optics up top with me!

 

Regards,

Qantas monitors and enforces its own weight limits on carry on baggage. There is no 'carry over' from another airline.

Qantas definitely weighs roller bags in my many experiences on the airline. Not usually backpacks or briefcases, but I constantly see them weighing nearly every carryon roller bag. More often from Australia than from the US, but still frequent from the US
