They wouldn’t make you pay… it’s free to check at the gate 😁

Stucky :
Speaking as a flight attendant, it’s because when they are extended, it takes up extra space in the bins (bins are designed to hold 4/5 suitcases and when they are extended, they might only hold 3/4). It doesn’t sound like a big deal, but if there are a ton of bags like that, then you really run out of space quickly. If it’s an older plane, it won’t fit in the bins and I’ve actually had the bins break from extended luggage (at that point, the bin cannot be used at all, for multiple flights). I blame luggage companies for even offering extendable luggage because this is a frequent issue.

This is why you don’t buy a suitcase with an extension unless you plan to check it at some point.

If it still fits in the overhead why the need to close it? The weight doesn’t change so this is just a power play AH move

We flew Lufthansa this summer and they weighed my carry-on! I had to take things out and transfer to my purse to be under the weight and that was rough. I didn’t even have my extenders out but they only allow 8kg per bag.

Just gate check it for free. Almost every airline will make you pay if you can’t fit it in the sizer when it’s expanded
