Stickler airline worker threatened to charge traveler $100 at check-in for head-scratching reason

Stickler airline worker threatened to charge traveler 0 at check-in for head-scratching reason

Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed that day.

Every overpacker knows how stressful the moment can be when your luggage is being weighed while checking in for a flight.

While some airline angels will sometimes let a few extra pounds fly without charging an overweight fee, one unlucky flyer traveling to Coachella was about to unnecessarily be hit with the $100 fee for a reason that shocked many online when she shared her experience in a TikTok video with over 100,00 views.

“I’m at the airport right now and I was checking my bag in and I know the rule is that your bag has to be under 50 pounds, I’m very aware. My bag was 51.01 pounds, 1 pound over, influencer Amanda Gallant shared in her video while talking to the camera, while walking, what looked like outside the airport. “She goes, ‘You need to take something out of here because it’s 1 pound over.’”

After asking if the airline worker could let it slide, the employee refused and reiterated that Gallant either remove something from her luggage or get charged the $100 fee. The defeated traveler finally complied, only for the worker to sass her, adding, “You shouldn’t have bought all that stuff.”

The Post reached out to the creator for comment.

Of course, commenters chimed in, having a lot to say about both the rude worker and the annoying $100 overweight fee travelers fear getting hit with.

“You should’ve casually said, and ‘Yeah, you shouldn’t have picked a career that you don’t like! Have a nice day,’” one suggested.

“It’s literally because you’re pretty. She was rude to you and on a power trip because you’re pretty,” someone chimed in

“That’s crazy! Mine was 50.5 they let it slide. I don’t get what a difference 1 pound makes & what would paying $100 do? Ridiculous,” agreed someone else.

“i don’t get the 50 pound limit because if you just pay the $100, why is it good all of a sudden,” one commenter questioned, with another explaining one of the reasons for the annoying fee: “… paying $100 doesnt make the bag safe for the plane. Keeping the majority of bags under 50lbs protects the workers [from] lifting bags all day. When they are heavier, they get labeled so that workers take extra care and don’t get hurt.”
