I'm flying to Sorong next week for a trip to Misool. The carry-on allowance is 7kg. I emailed reservations and they told me the 7kg applies to both the overhead bag and personal bag for under the seat. They told me that if it weighs over it will not be permitted in the cabin.
I recently upgrade my camera gear and I think in total it weighs about 15lbs. Typically I carry everything on for a dive trip. My regular carry-on that goes in the overhead has my dive gear + clothes. Then my camera bag goes under the seat.
My current dive setup weighs about 17lbs and will be 20lbs with my clothing. So I have two carry-ons weighing a total of about 35lbs +/-.
I read some tips about using a photographer vest to strap all the heavy stuff to your body and thus not get weighed for the carry-on. Has anyone done this with Garuda? My fear is they say I must weigh that too.
I don't want to check all my expensive camera equipment, nor do I like checking in my regulator or mask. If necessary, I can check my BC and fins.
Is Garuda strict on weighing the handheld carry-on? If I'm overweight, do I have the option of checking the bag still?
Any tips would be much appreciated! We are flying from Singapore.
