we flew out from bali back to perth this morning and had 13kg over limit, the guy who checked us in told us not to worry about it, then 1 hour later came and found us and demanded $100US dollars. we didnt pay it, but also didnt want to cause a fuss and trouble, it was him and a buddy close by!
i was in a compromising position when i was met in the toilets and money was demanded from me, i handed over the remaining rupiah i had, about 100,000 and told him thats all i had. I didnt event have a credit card on me, so couldnt withdraw funds, i explained i didnt know what the go was and that i thought he was just doinging the righty by a customer as we travel throughout australia with excess baggage quite often and dont pay an excess??
whats the deal;, is this normal? my 3rd time in bali and ist time with this sort of thing??
did i do the right/worng thing by paying him??
I dont want drugs planted in my bags or to be accused of anything??
should i have contacted security??
any info would be great, kinda puts a dampner on an awesome time!
thanks
