Avi – in regard to the luggage, by 7lbs overweight I am assuming he meant an additional seven pounds beyond the limit, not 7 total. And in American airports they talk pounds. I can tell you he is probably right about that story because I had the same thing happen to my daughter. we were told an extra suitcase would be $125. When her luggage was found to be 10 lbs over the limit they told us it would cost us $250 . I told them I am not paying $250 and that if I have to pay anything I will pay $125 and get an extra suitcase. They insisted that it would cost me $250 either way, and went on to insist that the agent must have been looking at a domestic screen or some shopping site because its $250. they would not let her take that luggage until we stuffed it into an additional suitcase and paid $250 in cash – as they told us they don’t take credit cards either.
