I rarely get asked because I am female, but if asked I lend a hand. I may be in that place one day. With baggage restrictions being so onerous, people are forced to pack heavy. Many people may not be able to fly if they have to be able to heft their luggage over their heads. Again, that could be me one day. I am 60 and I specifically added a few weight exercises to my routine so I could more easily handle luggage. So far so good, but I'd hate to be grounded because I can't shoulder press 50 lbs. The friend I travel with can't manage her luggage at times, and although I do think a regimen at the gym wouldn't hurt, I help her. It's just the neighborly thing to do.
