I made my last return flight from Pakistan via Faisalabad Int. and a very unique thing I noticed there is that there were no weight calculators on luggage belts during boardings. It might be the best choice for those who like to travel with overweight baggages.

Wow! What a suggestion. Ever heard of aircrafts' cargo capacity? It could be a threat to the safety of flight.
