Yes fine. I have no argument with all the safety issues listed above but where does all this arbitrary figures/guesswork by the airlines leave the SLF??
I know that if I take my 20 kgs of check in baggage to ANY airline I will be OK. If I take any more then I have to be prepared to face the consequences or put into action all the numerous charm features that us regular pax keep up our sleves!! However now I must enter the lottery of carry on baggage. Leave South africa with 8 kgs, go to USA with Virgin with 6 kgs and maybe come back with BA or whoever with 5 kgs.
Coming back to my original question - this seems to have all started happening in the last few months. Is there now a new "policy" from someone behind this crackdown? <img src="confused.gif" border="0">
