My dolly had to have it's own baggage tag. Baggage handlers have been injured by the bungy cords and do not want to be exposed to them. Robert & I just flew to and from the National with an ice chest that was bungee corded shut. No problem. They probably wanted to charge you for the additional baggage item <G> Liz _www.lealynn.com_ (http://www.lealynn.com/) GSDCA member since 1976 Signers of the Breeders Code **************Get the Moviefone Toolbar.
