Except for flying with the big discounters, has anyone had their personal item sized or weighed? If so, what airline and the circumstance if possible.
Edit...I'm not asking about your main carry on. I'm asking about the small personal item most people take in addition to the main carry on.
Ryanair! Join the line.
I've had TAP weigh carryon and personal item combined. Not quite what you're asking, but it has made me more careful about checking weight and measurements of both items.
Icelandair when leaving from Seattle. This has happened once in several flights. They do make announcements every flight out of Seattle.
Anything goes when departing from Keflavik.
Air New Zealand multiple flights both long haul and within New Zealand.
From Seattle, Iceland Air is very strict and on at least my last 5 or 6 flights to Iceland, they have weighed the personal item of every passenger, even Saga class. If it is questionable at all, you will need to put it in the sizer as well.
Yes. Aer Lingus Heathrow to Dublin. Everyone boarding had the combined weight of carry on and personal item weighed. They announced that carry ons must fit in the sizer but did not see anyone having to use it. I have flown the route since then and it seems to have been a one time occurrence.
