Aussie airlines crack down on oversized cabin luggage

As a frequent traveller, I often only travel with carry on and a laptop. I try really hard to adhere to the rules and never bring more than about 4kgs - usually a couple days worth of clothing if it's an overnight trip, otherwise, just a laptop is usually all I'll have, yet constantly I am targeted, especially by some of the Sydney staff when I see tourists from certain neighbouring countries carrying their house on their back with three suitcases in tow that definitely don't meet the restrictions and would never fit in the little "Does it measure up" checking stations. 9 times out of 10, I've booked the night before, so I've also paid ten times more than these inconsiderate people and then when I get onto the aircraft, there's nowhere to put my one measly carry on item except under the seat in front of me, which guarantees an uncomfortable flight..
Oops, sorry folks, I don't normally whinge so much about things like this. But actually I'm really happy they are starting to crack down on this. I hate seeing these people who just think they can bring their entire contents of their house including the kitchen sink on a 2 hour flight to Sydney..

Jetstar will be my last choice of flight

I travel frequently on Jetstar and only carry a shoulder bag on board. Often I cant find a locker space within cooee of my seat because of people who don't care and are selfish. Just enforce the "does it fit measure and the scales at boarding gate. That will not slow boarding as much as passengers trying to find locker space somewhere on the plane. If it don't fit you are off because you know the rules. Check it in chump.

Fat chance of that lasting..............

Jetstar is the only airline I've had to check luggage with in 14 years. It was annoying.

It would be great if all travelers were treated equally. I travel a lot and often see the Asian travelers yes, taking the kitchen sink and not being ordered to pay excess and my goodness the hand luggage rules.

I was singled out as an Australian in Singapore by Jetstar traveling back to Vietnam where Vietnamese were carting bucket loads of carry on and not pulled up.
Lets get fair here.

THE DAY NEED TO COME WHERE THEY ACTUALLY WEIGH THE PASSENGERS TOO ,HAVE A COMBINATION WEIGHT ALLOWED.
