Remember that the airline industry made over 6 billion $ last year on luggage fees - do you think they would let this chance pass for long? | |

As with most things there is a leeway/margin given to these devices, but I would not count on this. If you have oversized baggage they have to handle it separately, which has an extra charge. | |

| May 17, 2015 at 11:27 | comment | added | Kartick Vaddadi | Good question. Please see the updated post. I clarified that a) I don't want to pay a surcharge and b) Do airlines actually enforce this, or is it only a theoretical risk? If it's a theoretical risk, I'm not worried. | |
