baggage charges

now with fuel being way too expensive, airlines are making people more
than ever with heavy bags pay more

having loaded baggage and cargo on aircraft this past summer, I often
joked about having passengers with heavier bags pay...

now it looks like people who pack more are being made to pay more.

with osme bags, you darn near get a hernia lifting them. There are other
bags that are overstuffed, get caught as they ride up the belt loader,
get jammed, fall off and explode or pop open..

it's always fun trying to put the exploded bags back together

Don't see why you are rejoicing. Your ticket price didn't go down.

Some people have bigger muscles than you.

Much bigger.

Much much bigger.

That is bad planning.

Should you use the mailblocks package and expect a response from me,
you should preauthorize the dissensoftware.com domain.

I very rarely bother responding to challenge/response systems,
especially those from irresponsible companies.

Get used to it: Now that some airlines charge for a second bag, the
incentive to not maximize the amount in the one free bag just went out
the window. Why should I spread the load to two bags and pay extra?
I'll weigh my bag and keep it one pound under the airline max (I
prefer to take two lighter bags but not at $25 a trip.)

Same here. I bought a large wheeled duffel, which holds 2.5 times the
two carry-ons that I used to check. Learned it gets over 50 lbs when
not even full. Cursed and put it in storage. Now I'll bring it out
and use it, just carefully weigh it before travelling.

I'll bet a lot of baggage handlers, cabbies, and bellmen are cursing
the airlines about now.
