Does Transavia weigh cabin baggage?

In practice, Transavia does not systematically weigh carry-on baggage at the airport. Inspections primarily focus on the size and the number of authorized bags. That said, Transavia does indeed enforce an official weight limit, and the airline may decide to weigh a bag if it appears obviously too heavy or difficult to handle.

In other words, weight checks are not automatic, but they remain possible, particularly on very full flights or at the boarding gate.
