So, I am in full agreement with you--except I allow myself up to 8kg because I have yet to see an airline with the 7kg rule panic. On one occasion, they asked me to take something out and wear it!<br />Out of 80 flights this year, I have checked in twice.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06494907984501861929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3162143393213037334.post-34257926165342679672010-12-17T20:12:38.184+11:002010-12-17T20:12:38.184+11:00OK, here goes:
Reducing your luggage BY 25kg may ...OK, here goes:<br /><br />Reducing your luggage BY 25kg may or may not be a challenge, depending on how much you pack. Here's the REAL challenge: travel around the world with LESS THAN 7KG TOTAL. Yes, that's a seven; no, there should NOT be another digit in front of it. And, yes, I verify it by taking it to the local pharmacy and having it weighed at 6.9kg. :-D<br /><br />I have travelled around the world (literally!) with less than 7kg. As far as I'm concerned, there are two kinds of luggage: carry on, and lost. <br /><br />At the end of a 14 hour flight, the very *last* thing I want to do is stand around a luggage carousel hoping that my bag actually made the trip with me. Instead, I'm straight out the front gate, ready to catch the cab/train/bus to the city.<br /><br />It's just a matter of discipline, really.
