Hand baggage

Look guy's it's quite simple really!!
Hand baggage means HAND BAGGAGE(10kgs) & ONE PEICE means exactly that.
Passengers who check-in luggage on the upper weight limit and then expect to try and take as much again through security or to the departure gate will be charged. Airlines are starting to wise up to the pax who are disregarding the weight/bag number limits. Everybody moans about the queues at security but when you see the size and amount of bags that some pax try to get through no wonder it slows the system down.
Why on a short flight do pax need to take everything they own and the kitchen sink inside the aircraft with them I just don't understand.
If you don't need it on the flight then check it in, if you don't want to pay for carriage leave it at home. Give the security guy's a break and minimise your hand baggage and that way you will minimise the queues and time it takes to get through security. Help security and help yourselves!!!!
Stop whinging!!
