If she can fit into the seat while looking like a bear, it is none of the airline’s business. It is not like she is some fatty carrying around an extra 100 pounds of blubber.

My bag was slightly overweight once, the the nice lady behind the counter suggested I take something heavy out of the bag and put it in my carry on. Its all good.

Similar experience, she said one bag was light and just move about 5 pounds from the heavy bag into the lighter one. Not sure how that makes an actual difference but I did it.

Nice try.

Or you could measure your bag before leaving home.

I’m sure most people do measure their bag, as I do.

But there’s gotta be a better process for checking dimensions that doesn’t embarrass and frustrate your customers.

I think the current process is placing profit over customer service, which is fine. But be prepared to earn a reputation as a garbage airline.
