Air France is trying to squeeze you for your hard earned cach

Checking in for France this morning I had packed on suitcase and one backpack total 19kg.
They told me I could only check in one piece and the other one would set me back HKD 700,-

Quite nasty surprise really although OFCOURSE it must have been written in small letters someplace.

Anyway they did not get me this time. I repacked my backpack into my suitcase that is expandable via a zipper and voila as the French say, I saved myself a cool 700 with 10 minutes work. I am going to treat myself with wine and good food for those money!
