Thai Enforcing 7 kg Carryon Limit at LAX

[Trvlr 50]

I had asked earlier if Thai was doing this, and the consensus was that it was not, and EVA was the only carrier to watch for.

Well I came a couple of days ago and I, and a few hundred other passengers, found that Thai was also enforcing the limit. The attendant at the check in line told me that they may let 8 kg through, but after that it is hard to get by.

Mine was 12 kg, and I checked it in after removing a few things.

I was told it was for security reasons, whatever that implies. But these days they can pin almost anything on security in the US and people just go along. Escalator is not working? Sorry, security reasons.

Obviously I do not know if they enforce the limit every flight, but people should watch out.

For anyone caught up in this weight limit issue, there's a luggage store near the Thai check-in counter, if you need to buy an extra bag to check.
