    Time for me to say this again:

    THE WEIGHT LIMIT ON LUGGAGE IS TO PROTECT BAGGAGE HANDLERS FROM INJURY. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH TAKE OFF OR LANDING WEIGHT.

      If that’s all it is, then just slap a bright red tag on the over weight bags to warn the handlers. Right?

      They carry literal caskets with dead parts on commercial flights… that’s definitely heavier

        Right, so everyone should be allowed to bring on a coffin size suitcase with at least 100kg with of weight now? They plan that out in advance so unless you are going to inform the airline well in advance that you’re bringing a corpse’s weight of luggage on board, my point still stands.

        “They bring bodies on board so I can bring a 100kg suicase” is a level of logic only seen when a Karen screams at some poor customer service person because her plane was cancelled due to a hurricane as if there’s a secret network of hurricane proof planes that are only unlocked if you act like a bitch.
