Homeward bound (again)

Posted at 3:52 am by Patrick under Zurich + Brussels:2006

I managed to get down to the Grand Place last night, where one of the few easily accessible GB Express stores is. That allowed for decent last-minute shopping for snacks and gifts.

Checking in this morning, I almost got nailed by the often unenforced carry-on weight limit of 40 lbs (18kg). The counter agent weighed both my rollaboard *and* my personal item. Though that’s not policy, and she wouldn’t take no for an answer. So I stepped away to shuffle my luggage, and go through security and check-in a second time.

The other person weighed only my roll-aboard (thank you!), and I avoided having to flush some Rochefort 10 down the sink to make weight.

Bon voyage from Brussels!
