Air Mexico flight - hand luggage

7 replies

I hope someone can help. I'm flying with Air Mexico from Heathrow - Mexico. I'm just taking hand luggage. The allowance is 10kg for all hand luggage (so bag and handbag together).

I'm booking in online beforehand.

Does anyone know whether my hand luggage will actually be weighed? I'm worried that my scales won't match theirs.

Its unlikely unless your bags are oversized or heavy looking. But there’s never a guarantee so just keep within the weight.

If you are only slightly over just take something heavy ( like a pair of shoes or phone charger) and put it in your jacket@ pocket.

What are the size limits?

Bumping hopefully!

I'm not at my laptop at the moment but the size limit is fine, it's just the weight that I'm worried about. Good idea about putting things like that in my pocket, though. My hand luggage has never been weighed in all the times I've flown but of course I haven't been anywhere for the last three years.

I will have to just wear all my clothes in one go, like Joey in Friends!

Mines only ever been scrutinised on a thriving bastards Ryanair flight. You should be fine and 10 kilos is quite a lot. Is it a wheelie cabin size case?

Remember to pack everything essential ( meds, documengs, phone charger and a change of clothes ) in your personal item in case they make you gate check your wheelie case. This is not uncommon if the flight is very busy.

They didn't weigh ours
