Hi everyone,
I’m preparing for a trip with Qatar Airways and I just realized their carry-on policy is stricter than I expected.
From what I understand, the carry-on plus personal item combined must be under 7 kg (about 15 lbs).
My current situation:
Backpack with laptop, camera, charger, adapters, and iPad
Carry-on suitcase already around 15.2 lbs (about 6.9 kg)
So I am basically already at the limit or slightly over, and I have not even fully optimized yet.
I also have a short 1 hour 20 minute layover in Hamad International Airport, so I am worried about delays or being forced to check my bag last minute and potentially missing my connection.
What would you recommend in this situation?
Should I try to carry everything as is and risk it?
Or reduce items and check a bag instead to avoid issues at the gate?
Any advice from people who have flown this route before would really help.
