That is very thoughtful of you. The airlines already have weight limits in place. You can be extra kind to the baggage handlers, if you want to. Me thinks, following the rules is good enough.

If it was an option, I would have done it. But unfortunately due to having one larger and one smaller bag, it wasn't an option without purchasing another bag.
