Does anyone know the weight limit for carry on luggage for Olympic? I see that the size limit is 23 x 36 x 56 cm, but I am uncertain if they have a weight test as well. What has your experience been? We would really like to avoid the baggage hassle on the Athens arrival. Thanks.

any experience here fellow travelers?

NOrmal European limit is 5Kg or 6Kg - it should be on your ticket

I was surprised but it is not on the ticket--just the dimensions. Perhaps I'll give a call and update on the site.

I just talked to Olympic in NYC, and was told that the limit per passenger is 18 pounds, which is about 8.25 kilos.

Thanks so much brotherleelove--I don't know if we can make it through on that but we are going to try. Many thanks.

For what it's worth, I have never had Olympic check weight on carry-ons or even express any interest in looking at anyone's carry-ons.

I've had just the opposite experience. Even though my bag was under the weight requirement and was the proper size, I was once forced to check my carryon by a very rude ticket agent in a bad mood who wouldn't listen to reason.

Eleni

on olympic!??! that is very surprising. just curious, in what airport was this ticket agent?

Eleni and Brotherlee--thanks for your answers--will hope Eleni's experience is the one out of JFK--don't care about the return as we have to go through customs anyway and wait for our next plane.
