You ban this shit, why? You were already making us pay extra to put our oversized baggadge on, cant you see you will make profit out of this?
Heres a little story for you quickly.
I was sitting in an Emirates plane at heathrow waiting for pushback just staring out the window at some guy unloading the luggadge from a recent arrive, a BA 747(BA have recently banned all surfboard and skis etc). Now i see they loader is picking a surfboard out of the hold and i just curiously watch him do it, now whoever owns this board has just come from his awsome surfing holiday and paid extra to put his pride and joy on this flight with him, the loader just chucks the board out and it smacks the tarmac, thats like throwing your board five storys, it was in a board bag but it wont protect it, i felt real sorry for this guy and wanted to shoot the loader.
Sorry for the rant but it annoys me

The Good-
