[TAC] Overweight luggage on Northwest

[Greg Surma]

Interesting.  I have an LK500ZB and a Clipperton L that I should weigh.


I have an ideal carry case at work for an amp...it went with me to VP2M
with my Clipperton. 

One MLA plus an SB200 or two plus the FL2100 should really be sweet!

Abbreviated Luggage text:
 Carry-on luggage must fit underneath the passenger seat or in an 
overhead compartment and cannot exceed 45 in. (9"x14"x22") or 115 cm (25

x 35 x 55) or 40 lbs. (18 kgs) of weight.

Checked luggage:
Maximum size per checked piece is 62 in. (158 cm).
For travel within the 50 US, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean, the 
maximum free weight allowance is 50 lbs. (23 kg). The fee for luggage 
weighing over 50 lbs. up to 70 lbs. is $25 USD/$39 CAD per piece;
over 70 lbs. up to 100 lbs. the fee is $50 USD/$77 CAD per piece.

For travel from the 50 US, Canada and Mexico to other international 
destinations, the maximum free weight allowance is 70 lbs (32 kg). The 
fee for luggage that weighs from 70 to 100 lbs (32 kg to 46 kg) varies 
by destination. Contact Northwest for International Excess luggage fees.
Any luggage in excess of 2 checked pieces or that is overweight and/or 
oversize is subject to excess luggage charges.

So we go with 51 to 70 lbs. for $25 and up to 100 lbs for $50
That may make it worthwile to take Stan's MLA-2500  ....  Depending on 
the Air Saint Pierre luggage restrictions.
