Guys why else would an airline specify height if they didn't intend to stick to it. Qantas and Jetstar do stick to there rules! even if its only a "little bit over" or "a little bit under". The same as Emirates only take people that are 21 years of age or over! A rule is a rule, and they are there for a mighty good reason. why do people always asume that height can be overlooked? I don't think weight is too much of a probelm, unless you physically can not walk down the isle of the plane. (I haven't heard that many airlines ask for weight in proportion to height here in oz)
