I have often wondered the same thing. Instead of weighing the luggage, they should weigh the passengers. I’m four feet eleven, weigh 110 pounds… too bad I don’t fit into a suitcase???I could go anywhere in he world for fifty bucks.
However, given how quickly a new set of luggage becomes a beat and damaged set of luggage, I would say the baggage mishandlers likely would kill anyone packing themselves into checked baggage :)

He’ll soon have a large one on his head if he’s not careful. And he’d do well to make sure he’s not on the same flight,rebooking if necessary.
