Subject: Airline weight limits

Recently I was concerned to learn that within the United
States, Continental Airlines has reduced its maximum weight
for an item of checked baggage from 100 lbs to 70 lbs. This
forced Suspended Animation to divide its largest shipping
container into two separate containers.

I now find that British-based airlines are imposing even
lower weight restrictions. While Suspended Animation does not
accept overseas clients for standby, Alcor does. Moving
standby equipment quickly in and out of Britain may be more
difficult than formerly. British residents might want to
check into this.

I have no idea what the situation is in other countries.
