Uzbekistan Airways Makes Weighty Decision


According to The Daily Telegraph, passengers for the Tashkent-based airline will now be weighed with their luggage before boarding. Those deemed too heavy may be charged extra fees, or possibly be banned from their scheduled flights.

The trend is expected to happen soon with other airlines. Therefore, if you’re planning to fly Uzbekistan, are rotund and carry heavy baggage, plan ahead. Cut back on the fatty meals and leave your iron at home.
