Astonishing! On the piece system QF charges for 3kg per bag (and allows 32kg). An order of magnitude more expensive. I always fly on the piece system (thankfully OWE tickets use the piece system) and never realized this incredible disparity. I knew it was more, but this is unfair and borders on extortionate! Presumably QF makes money on the piece system charge.
