Is the 7kg limit published? Did you know that, yet voluntarily purchase a flight on that airline?
If so, then calling someone who enforced the rule a "bag nazi" reflects more on you than them I'd suggest.
Blame them for what? Being ridiculous? One can take a hot drink on a bus, train, you name it. I've never once seen or heard of this type of ban.
The 7KG "rule" is not published anywhere; I asked that question and they stated it was in the "terms and conditions", however, I've yet to see them, not that I looked. I've never seen this type of "rule" on any airline. 15 lbs is quite limiting.
I bought the ticket b/c of their partner status with Delta, of which I'm a Diamond Elite. Yet there were zero benefits. I avoided the unknown airlines to avoid the "Spirit" kinds of markups and fees, but aside from getting a few miles, I got zero benefits. And yes, the bag Nazi.
So explain why the bag Nazi did not check any of the other 100++ bags brought on board? Just mine?
