Boarding refusal at boarding gate
Today, after checking in my luggage, I arrived at the boarding gate 5 minutes after the planned take off. The woman at the gate refused to let me board even though the airplane was still there and I was standing there like an idiot watching them take out the luggage (which took additional 30 minutes). Why not stop looking for my luggage and just let me in, which would be faster?
(I had an argument with the same person at the check in where she wanted me to pay for 20 kilos excess when I had only 10 kg more than allowed)
