Does Olympic Air weigh hand baggage?

I'm flying to Athens from London on Olympic and while my one bag fits the carry-on size restrictions, it might be a little heavier than the 8 kg they allow. I have to take a wedding present with me that, while not large, may weigh a pound or two.

Has anyone had experience with flying Olympic air with a close-to-maximum size carry on bag? Will they weigh my bag at the airport and make me check it if it is a kilo over? This will mostly be a possibility on the London to Athens flight.

Sometimes they weigh them and sometimes not. There's no way of knowing what they'll do. I sometimes think it all depends on their mood that day. I would think that on an international flight there would be less chance of a problem. Good Luck!
