International flying

The airlines continue to tighten the rules for luggage. They brought the 50lb rule to international flights too. This happened Oct 10, just a couple days before our flight to Sydney. Once again the human at the check in counter (thank god for humans) lets us through becuase the rule was so new. But it'll be harder next time.

Air Canada treated us reasonably well, the ticketing agent even went downstairs and retrieved a piece of luggage so I could check my jackknife, which I (once again) forgot and put in my pocket.
