"It's you or your bags"

That’s essentially what the pilot of an under-fueled jetliner told his passengers:


Moments before their plane was due to take off, passengers on a flight to Crete were issued with an extraordinary ultimatum.

The captain told them the plane did not have enough fuel to carry all of them and their luggage.

They were told that if they wanted to fly with their bags, 70 passengers out of 151 would have to be booted off. - dailymail.co.uk

Three days later, once they had spent hundreds of pounds on clothes and toiletries, the first of two suitcases finally showed up.

If these words do not change your behaviour to travel with one bag, then you are well and truly misguided
