How strict are carry-on and luggage weight checks on flights to Praslin, Seychelles?
Based on 1 discussion with 3 participants · Last activity: today
TL;DR
On the domestic Mahe–Praslin flight, carry-on and checked luggage weight are checked strictly (typical limit ~5 kg carry-on / 20 kg checked); on international carriers like Emirates and Aeroflot, carry-on weight can also be checked at check-in or the gate.
What the community said
On Aeroflot flights, even after online check-in and self-printing the boarding pass, carry-on can still be weighed at the security checkpoint; the liquids rule (containers up to 100 ml, max 1 liter total) isn't always enforced consistently, so it's safer to stay within the limit.

Travelers flying Emirates with a 2×23 kg checked baggage allowance should know that carry-on is weighed separately at check-in — an overweight cabin bag may need to be checked in or incur an extra fee.

On the local flight to Praslin (usually Air Seychelles), carry-on and checked baggage weight are checked strictly — the typical allowance is around 5 kg for carry-on and 20 kg for checked luggage, with overweight charged on the spot, so it's worth weighing bags in advance.
