Enter Frontier Airlines. They weigh your personal item like a drug-sniffing dog. Their limit? A measly 7 kg (15 lbs).
That’s less than a typical bowling ball. Or a small toddler. (Please don’t stuff a toddler in your bag.)
I once saw a woman at a Frontier gate repacking her purse into her coat pockets. She looked like a sad, panicked penguin. Pure entertainment.
The Hidden Rule You Didn’t Know
Here’s a fun fact: even if your airline doesn’t have a weight limit, the crew can still deny your bag. If it’s “too heavy for them to lift,” you’re out of luck.
That’s subjective, of course. A 92-year-old flight attendant might struggle with your 9-kg duffel. A 25-year-old gym-goer? They’ll toss it like a frisbee.
Moral: be nice to the crew, and maybe do a few arm curls before your trip.
