Your hotels have bathroom scales? It still takes two of you I bet.We don't buy souviners so we just weigh our bags by standing on a bathroom scale with them and without them and subtract.
I love using the old "active duty military" card when ever i am going somewhere on vacation. helps get around those bag fees.
If you think those rules are tough, try taking a golf bag through United. My wife, some friends, and I are going on a golf trip to Scotland soon. Out golf bags can only contain a set of clubs, one pair of golf shoes, and balls. They said they will open every bag, and if there is anything else in it, they will charge a $200 fee for oversized luggage. It doesn't matter how much it weighs.
Curious. Just like they asked that Brady cheat, how many balls? I've played in Scotland many times. On some links, a dozen might not carry you!
What do you mean, tough? Those were the rules originally quoted to me for dive gear, and I packed accordingly. I had a bag (a cooler, actually) packed with only dive gear for me and my wife, and it weighed about 75 lbs. Now with their retraction of those rules for dive gear, I have to start over and distribute our dive gear over the rest of our luggage to get all the bags under 50 lbs. I would love to fly under the same rules as golfers, and it hardly seems fair that we divers cannot do that.If you think those rules are tough, try taking a golf bag through United.
