But both cases were dismissed after the court ruled that the Montreal Convention, a framework of international rules and regulations on air travel, should take precedence over British law.
KD in CA Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 Wow, a common sense ruling in Europe?? That's a rare treat. If they charge for baggage being over a certain weight, it stands to reason they should be doing the same thing with passengers. Each person should have to get on a scale with all their bags, regardless of checked or carry on. Every pound over X pays a surcharge.
