It goes on and on. I agree AC has shown that it chooses to nickle and dime its passengers to the point that passengers are fed up. Time for the government to step in as has happened in other countries, even the States.
What is the point of charging passengers for overweight luggage and not charging passengers for being overweight. Why should a 90 lb, 5' 2" woman pay the same fare as a 300 lb, 6' 5" man? I'm quite sure that the 210 lb difference is many times that of the overweight luggage. It's all the same to the stress on the air frame and engines.
