Carry on Baggage
Was at Sydney airport the other day, and just happened to notice the boarding of a flight. I watched with interest the amount of baggage that people are carrying on these flights. Not one single person used the "test bin" and most of the baggage looked over the allowable weight.
Is there a weight limit on the overhead lockers ? and if so, who is enforcing it ?Also, why aren't the airlines involved, enforcing the "one piece" rule ?
In the past I have seen some ridiculous amounts of so called "hand baggage", but next time you are near a boarding aircraft, have a look for yourself. Anyone else noticed this ?
Just one more thing,: If the overweight baggage does come lose in the cabin (be it through the overhead locker flying open in turbulence or otherwise) and hits some poor sod in the back of the head causing injury, who is at fault ? the airline or the pax ? and who will be coughing up the $$$$ for compo ?
Still, if the airlines don't care, why should the public!
