Thread: Appalled at lack of knowledge of how to deal with ZED's

Glad you finally made it back Tony.

When I was departing AKL on EK, they said that I had to check in my carry on bag which I never check in the US unless I'm the last one on and I'm forced to. In NZ, apparently the max wt for carry on is 7 kg. When we got to security, they were actually weighing bags and sending people back down to check in if their bags were over 7 kg.

I have used ZED in Asia several times and just went to Africa last December through Europe. It was smooth and flawless, the trip to Africa was part paper part ticket less and last week I booked a last minute zed and caught a flight on DL domestically out of Boston all very easy. I'm with American and we have the rules and requirements available on line and each airline is a bit different of course you always have to list on the flight that you want and in many cases you can do an advance check in via phone or on line. This would make an interesting thread as to good and bad experiences and also determining if it's the nonrev or airline dropping the ball?
