b/c she doesn't have to have exactly 50 pounds, she can have any were from 0 to 50 pounds in each suit case. They are not going to charge her more, if she only brings 49 pounds :DDDD It's the same charge up to and including 50 pounds. If she brings 51 pounds then maybe she would get charged more :P But not for 50 pounds or less . :) Make sense?
