Carry-on weight for inter-island flights

[grendelsdad]

The documentation from PG says that for inter-island flights (we're doing a post-cruise Bora Bora stay), "Each boarding passenger is allowed a single 18 x 14 x 8 in (45 x 35 x 20 cm) carry-on weighing at the most 6 lbs (3 kg)"

 

Just wanted to double-check that this is correct. I am planning to take a backpack with camera and lenses, which will weigh >6 lbs. I really prefer not to check it...

It’s been several years, but for me, Air Tahiti was serious about the bag size on the ATR 42/72, but did not check the weight. In any event, most of the time, you’ll see the bags loaded and offloaded, with the only exception being Tahiti it self.
