While my camera gear barely fits inside a LowePro Photo Trekker AW, thus adhering to carry-on size limitations, at ~15Kg or approximately 33 pounds the overall weigth is well above what any airline would allow for carry-on luggage.
For this reason I am always nervous when nearing the check-in counter and relax only after passing the security checkpoint.
Twice in the recent past I witnessed check-in operators asking other passengers to check hand-luggage they considered to be overweight, and though the same operators didn't question me the fact doesn't help to ease my worries.
Has anyone been forced to check-in overweight, but size compliant carry-ons? Should such a situation arise, what would you do?
