    I welcome it. I’m harassed for the 1kg excess in my bag. If you’re not charging others more, I’d like not to be treated like that. Give me a discount then for every kilogram I weigh less by.

      Do you seriously think it would work that way? They wouldn’t charge you a single cent less. Probably charge others more though.

      …the overweight baggage charge is because of health and safety, not plane weight. Anything over 20 kilos is too heavy for a single person to safely handle so they have to get two people to deal with it, which takes more time

      You on the other hand aren’t being handled by anyone. You’re not a health hazard.
