Anyone flown Etihad recently? I have an upcoming trip with fam and I’m hearing that as of this summer, they no longer allow a cabin bag+personal item—only a 7K bag. If this is true I’m going to have to ditch backpacks for everyone and make sure they only have a lightweight carry on.

They did not check the weight of carry on for me I traveled to India second week of August.

Don’t know about etihad but Qatar had same rule. They made me weigh my cabin bag at Delhi airport and did not let me take my backpack. A purse was allowed though. I knew about this issue from a friend and kept my cabin bag light. Stuffed my backpack in there and moved important docs to a purse that I then carried.
I’d say avoid getting a backpack.

Hmmm guess I wont bring a backpack and settle for a light 4 wheel carry-on. Next time I’ll be flying Turkish— 3 23kg bags per person and none of this cabin allowance nonsense. Thanks

Honestly no body cares in US. They let me take the same cabin bag that was very heavy and a full size backpack from US but not India. So it’s not about airlines I guess it’s about Indian employees causing trouble. Had similar experience with BA.
