A traveler describes a flight from Austin to Amsterdam via Atlanta, noting the discrepancies in baggage allowances between Delta and KLM code-share flights. An anecdote details a confrontation at the airport counter over a suitcase weighing 56 pounds against a 50-pound limit, resulting in a manual transfer of items between bags. A similar experience on Lufthansa is recounted where removing a two-pound laptop from a bag satisfied a strict weight limit.
