What is bizarre about a 5kgs hand baggage allowance?? A lot of airlines limit hand baggage to 5 kgs. Why do people expect to be able to carry unlimited hand baggage onto an aircraft, it is a fcuking hazard if it falls onto someone from an overhead locker! Why should the poor person who boards last not have anywhere to stow their hand luggage because some inconsiderate person has used up all the overhead locker space?
