The annotation in a PNR would suddenly give reservations staff a bit of discretion so its something Willie Wonka and his not-so-merry-men would never agree to!
Our Check-In Systems are being tweaked as well to ensure we can't print an extra bag tag without payment. The belts are being calibrated so they won't move if a weight over 23 kgs stands on them!
That is why we can't give any discretion - the whole thing goes live on 11th October!
Thanks Bealine - First Luggage is looking more appealing by the day with their 30kg door to door service!

Seems like Willie Wonka (is this miss-spelt! ) doesn't want his staff to have a brain - perhaps he should be put on check-in desks on 11th October instead and see how he likes the customers' reactions.
