Hi Guys, thanks for your messages back.

So what weight do they base an average passenger on with average hand luggage on the load sheet? I would suggest that today this would be significantly greater than the average. Obviously all checked bags, fuel etc will be of a known weight.

I was just surprised by the lack of concern the weight was given by the Menzies check in staff despite sticking so many 'heavy' tags on bags. They were getting a lot of stick from passengers, were under stress and wanted rid of the PAX as soon as possible. They didn't even ask to look at hand luggage. On flights that are nearly full it seems normal procedure to weigh all hand baggage as well.

I'm sure it'll be grand and I have, as always, every faith in the RE crew.

Yeah, valid point regarding condition of A/C, thankfully BYO seems to be operating from DUB today Although tbh all of the 42's are as bad as each other even if some have been tarted up to be easier on the eye!
