Wow it is an eye opener about too much weight on take off took the lives of everyone on board a plane crash in America)
What they are saying is the weight of the baggage, (people flying estimated weight) and cabin baggage is a fine balancing act through out the aircraft.
Now I have been guilty of getting more cabin baggage thru almost every time I fly, And on occasions I have heard of people bribing check in officials with the checked in weight so they didnt have to pay excess.
It has opened my eyes to the extreme danger we are putting our flight into if we do this...so think about it every time you leave Bali..is it worth getting those extra kilo's thru and the figures being unbeknown to the pilots who have to calculate weight that is given to them before take off..... I will in future use Sea mail to get excess back. just not worth it is it?????
