​​​​​​Neither of you provided an answer. You fundamentally misunderstand how IATA guidelines like these shape airline polices and why these baggage policy irregularities matter.

There are a number of FT members like yourself that dismiss certain posts by deflecting to CoC or other rules and policies. The only policy at issue here is a misinterpretation of what is otherwise a sound IATA guideline. No amount of evidence will change your mind and you fail to cite specific, relevant details to support your claims. Vague references add nothing to this conversation. You can think that's argumentative all you want.
