Should a 100-pound woman who has a carry-on bag (or checked bag for that matter…) that is a few pounds overweight have to pay up while a 300-pound woman with a slightly smaller bag is welcomed onboard without issue? Probably not, but let’s unpack this issue a bit.
The post below shows a petite woman forced to pay extra for her carry-on bag because it is overweight, while a morbidly obese woman does no have to pay extra because here carry-on bag is a few pounds under.
I will also note that carry-on bags are restricted by dimensions in the USA, but not weighed, so the issue is somewhat moot in terms of US readers.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
