However, in the case of a simple ruler which has no moving parts so isn't going to change much over time, the regulations probably just say that the equipment has to be manufactured according to appropriate national standards and is in good physical condition. | |

| Aug 19, 2015 at 17:53 | comment | added | Szabolcs | When I used to travel with them years ago, they weighed each hand luggage (only at airports where they had the necessary setup) and they didn't let me take a 10.5 kg bag because the limit was 10.0 kg. If they do measure, I would not expect them to tolerate even a few cm over the limit. | |

Giving the choice between being really nice and letting you take a second bag slightly larger than allowed, or charging you, their choice is obvious. I'd put the laptop into the suitcase, and take a small bag with extra stuff that doesn't fit into the suitcase anymore. | |
| Jul 17, 2015 at 13:39 | comment | added | nsn | Dont trust that only. My luggage was once measured with a ruler and that dimension was off by 2cm (I think even less) and had to pay extra. Having this said, they are currently a bit more layed back and it has become even nice to travel with them. Still I would advise not to abuse too much. | |
