It seems that the sheer lameness of this blog and it's subject matter is in direct proportion to the authors intelligence. How depressing.

Seems like you are the arrogant wanka who expects to be able to break international flight rules because you think you're some "big star" who needs his computer on the flight. um...you're a wanka Yeah, I’m with the post above.

Don't you think it's a bit arrogant that you assume you deserve special treatment? Air safety rules are there for a reason and while you may have been happy to get your way because "people in Brisbane have bought tickets to see my concert", the reality is that if your overweight bag had fallen out of the overhead cabinets (or stressed them beyond the weight they were designed for), you'd be fucking other peoples' lives/plans up in other ways. Fuck - if you're going to tour the world using laptops and heavy equipment, buy some padded/shockproof roadcases and stop being a prima donna about it. You're not being cool by 'fighting the power'. Do you really think Qantas give a fuck who you are? Don't embarrass yourself, for goodness' sake. It's not all about you. You can carry on all you like about this lady being 'anal' and negative, but you're being just as anal and negative by holding everyone else up and insisting that you're somehow more important than they are; that the rules don't apply to you. "They asked if there was ANYTHING I could gate-check. I said my Serato box and my chargers. We put that in a little bag. Then we moved a few items from my backpack to my tote bag so that neither of them was over 7 kg (I actually pulled a wooptie-woop and hid some things while they were weighing the bags), and finally I was allowed to board. This is after single-handedly holding up the flight for a good 15 minutes." "WAY TO ACHIEVE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, GUYS." Actually, it kind of seems that they achieved something. They separated your heavy carry-on baggage into portions that could be considered safe according to the guidelines that have made them the safest airline in the world - but also which are probably standard, across-the-board regulation weights. You must have felt like a bit of a dick, though, finally walking onto the flight with everyone shooting daggers at you. Errr.

Fri, 23 Jan 2009 22:52:54 +0000 http://djatrak.com/?p=1384#comment-663 haha i went through something similar in India on my way back to the states last week. My bag was 2 Kg's over and dude said i can carry my jacket (which was in my bad) in my hand and i can weight the bag without my laptop. So i removed my serato box and a book or 2 and hid them in my jacket and got through security and simply placed them back in the bag at gate check. haha i went through something similar in India on my way back to the states last week.
