I did an international flight to a country that had spotty power and it was a 3+ week trip. So naturally I grabbed my kids firetablet 5000 mah battery packs (x2), my iPhone charger, personal and work laptop, and a couple sets of AirPods. Needless to say my backpack was heavy. One airline (Asiana) wanted to weigh my carryon and told me it was too heavy. I told them I had reservations checking lithium batteries to a non pressurized cabin. I offered to pay a fee but could t really just toss the laptops etc (the bulk of the weight). Eventually they let it slide because of the batteries but for a second I thought I was gonna be stuck in a terminal or be forced to Chuck a MacBook or something in the trash (and let be serious, the work machine goes first)
