Never Fly Malev

Just got charged 331 euros for my camerabag by the Pusta-pettythieves. The charge in Europe for an extra k varies anywhere between 5-20 euros, mostly closer to 10 at the most. Malev charges 20,65. I’m flying from Helsinki to Athens to meet up with the C1RCA Europe lot in Athens, and the overweight cambag cost me about twice as much as my ticket. Just one way. On a side note they didn’t want to serve me another cup of OJ. Come on now, my friend Fisheye here is paying over three hundred euros for this fligh, can you at least get him some juice?
BA has a policy of charging a lump sum for an extra bag and not being fuzzy about how much it weighs. Inside Europe, the cost is 90 euros a pop. With them, you know you’ll be paying 90, but at least you won’t be paying more than that. No more Malev for me, thanks.
