What difference does it make to the airline what is in the bag.. surely the fair thing is just to go by weight and size? Are the airlines now going to ask you to open your luggage and charge you by item? Next they will charge more for a leather jacket than a pair of trousers!! That is the logical conclusion. It is ridiculous. By all means charge a fee if you must, but by the bag and the weight. Who cares what's in it?

You are having the same problem that many at Delta have. You seem unable to listen. He did not say two boards weigh the same as one. He said the bag weighs the same, because when he is travelling with one board, he loads up the extra space with other stuff. He was quite specific, but Delta has a hard time hearing what their customers have to say.
