They often walk through the departure gates with a set of baggage scales on a trolley to weigh bags. On departure from Tasmanian airports they insist carry on bags be weighed to ensure they comply. For the comfort and safety of your fellow travelers, just comply with the terms and conditions of your booking. It’s that simple.

JQ are fairly strict regarding carry-ons. For them, it is a revenue opportunity.

Thanks. And BTW I should have been more specific. I'm not talking about 20 vs 7kg... I'm just getting a feeling for the 8 vs 7 possibility. I read somewhere they will scalp you for 7.05...

If you have a couple of smaller but heavier items just put them in your pockets for a few minutes before boarding.
