On a side note: I thought the quote was from "The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!" movie with Leslie Nilsen or a similar absurd comic movie. Then I discovered that the original line is much much older

 

Sorry for hijacking the thread 😇

 

And this is exactly why I come here, all this water photo thing is totally secondary 🤣

Recent trick I learned, disperse your Li-Ion batteries in all of your carry-ons. Then you can say there are rechargeable batteries inside and it’s illegal to check it. That plus ‘photo equipment’ often gets me through the door.

Here is the stuff of nightmares: the infamous post check-in carry-on luggage weight checkpoint for all Air Asia flights at Kuala Lumpur's KLIA2 terminal...

Snapped this on the sly last week, thinking of this thread....

After check-in and luggage drop, all KLIA2 passengers have to go through this luggage weight check-point to reach immigration's passport control booth and security.
They've made it even more systematic now, with a dedicated lane for people with luggage (read, rollers and the like) and those with "none" .
Rollers get weighed, but a light-looking backpack usually gets you into the "no luggage" lane.

I've resorted to the pocket vest strategy to get my roller under 7kg a few times in the past there, emptying the heavy stuff in the pockets before going through, and then replacing everything back into the roller after the weight check...
Scary? They make it easy 😁

That said, the great thing about Air Asia is that it's very easy to add check-in luggage at a reasonable price, which helps.
