Great lesson on how to pak ’’ But has anybody thought of the restrictions they have on hand baggage’’ In Europe they start from 6 Kg to max 10 Kg and only one item and that can be a lady’s handbag this bag looks likes it full ’’ ant now the hand bag’’ if you can’t fit into the bag’’ your bag has to be checked in at a charge off up to € 35 why not do as I’ve done; and purchase a Jaktogo great invention they can’t do anything about it can save money and time ‘’

Sorry, but the vest makes you look like a dork. Just pay the fee...

And while you are at it, think about million dollar executive salaries they could have cut back on to save that $30 as well... they don't have to pass costs along to consumers, they just do.
