I was asked bribe caused of my excess baggage

Reported on March 5, 2011 from Mumbai , Maharashtra  ι Report #32482

I returned from abroad for a family function at my natives. I had my baggage according to International Airline's policy but I could not check my baggage allowance of domestic Airlines and after arriving at domestic Airport I realized the situation. So I asked at airlines counter about excess baggage fees and luckily I had enough amount with me but after sometime a man in blue uniform asked me to pay him less money and he can get my problem solved. But I was not so sure about it and I could not think it as solution as it was my mistake not to check baggage allowance of domestic airlines. But to my surprise, as I went for boarding pass, person on counter just asked me whether I have come form abroad and on my affirmation, he let my baggage in without any excess fees to be paid and I was so relaxed with the policy of the Airlines authorities. I am quite pleased with the help they provide at airport. I would like to inform people not to pay bribe but to go for the correct solution and you can really save loads of money and it would be help to Government and country as well.
