Asking again will i pay for it @ jfk?

Question

my airlines, china airlines, allows me to bring a 50-pound checked baggage piece, my piece weighs about 56 pounds, will they charge me? and also, my carry on piece is 18 pounds when it can only be 15, will they charge me for this? my mother told me they would let it slide, but im only wondering. they also say that i can bring two pieces of baggage for free, im bringing my laptop bag, which is 18-pounds, and a handbag, which is 10. do these two items have to comply to the carry-on rule of 15 pounds? im leaving thursday so please help!!

Answer 1

You will probably be charged for your checked bag. The airlines are strict because this is a part of their revenue stream now and they're losing money. If they weigh the carry on, you may be charged for that also. I have rarely had a carry-on weighed, but it is usually obvious that there isn't much in it anyway.
