Do they expect passengers to wear every item of clothing they are bringing so they won't be charged for their suitcase? Then everyone would have to pay extra for taking up too much seat room for being too "fat" because of the multiple layers of clothing!! Charge for excessive numbers of bags, but good grief let us bring some luggage as part of the ticket price!! :roll:
I don't know if airlines still think this way, but after 9-11, someone traveling without luggage sent up a real red flag!
