I'm headed to Bali next week traveling on China Air via L.A. & Taipei and have just noted the stated carry-ons restricted to two items; one normal U S dimensions and one two inches thick. The first "large" carry-on is stated to be maximum of sixteen pounds. China Air reservations is verbally standing by the 16 lb. limit. My nifty new Akona rolling camera bag alone weighs 12 lbs. empty; i.e. with gear more in the 40 lb. range.
Question is, has anyone actually experienced China Air and do they, in fact, enforce these restrictions? Or, are the stated weights simply poorly thoughtout clerical rule?
Thanks
Allan
