Hi all,
I can't figure this one out: on a recent flight to Dalaman airport in Turkey my wife who normally carries a shoulder bag and handbag, had to put all the contents into one bag as the airline had changed rules and were only allowing one piece of 'hand luggage' into the cabin.
The total combined weight was under 5Kg.
Perhaps somebody should teach the the check in desk and cabin crew some simple things about stress and mechanics:
Analogy: A Fakir can lay down on a bed of nails because his weight is distributed over thousands of nails over wide area not a small one.
With my wife having to put all contents into one bag, the weight is now compressed into a smaller area which increases the chance of a mechanical failure due to increased stress.
Yes, we will fly with them again as we only use this one company for our holidays which comes into several thousands pounds spent with them each year but somebody please explain things to them.
regards
Steve
