Why on earth does every airline have different rules and regulations?!?! As I was packing, I worked very hard to make sure the 1 bag I was checking was under 50 lbs. It was not an easy task, but with a little finagling I came in at a whopping 49.6lbs, only to find out that TAM airlines allows you 2 checked bags up to 70lbs each. But here's the kicker....your carry-on can only be 11lbs. That my friends is a joke!! There was no way I was getting my carryon bag down to 11lbs. The suitcase itself weighs 8 lbs!! So anyways, when I got to the ticket counter to check in, (yes...no online check in either) I did indeed have to check them both. thankfully she let my "personal item" slide. That too was well over 11lbs!
When I finally make it to my seat, 33F, it turns out to be in the center of the center isle. I set my seat tv to English, gear up a movie......and the tv reset. As luck would have it, my tv is broken. I have a 12 hour flight ahead of my and there isn't one movie I can watch because it re-boots about every 5 minutes. Thank goodness I pre-loaded the iPad with lots of good music, books and games!
I am going to make the best out of this flight! After all....it is the start of the trip of a lifetime!!!!!!!
