I was checking a bag the other day and the agent told me that the bag was 3 pounds over. I promptly removed a couple of items and she checked the bag without further questions.
I added the 3 pounds to my carry-on bag which was about 57 pounds, according to my digital bathroom scale. (thanks to all the books I was carrying)
I also weigh about 100 pounds more than my seatmate. (6'6" 230 pounds vs 5'3 130 pounds) Does that mean the airline had to spend extra fuel to fly my fat [backside]? (and overweight carry-on?)
