Overweight surcharge waived for free bags · case 01

A 28 kg bag within the free allowance goes through without the weight surcharge.

Verified by executionVariant 1 · 11 checks per implementationDownload source bundle ↓JSON ↗

ROOT CAUSE

The weight surcharge is only applied to bags beyond the free piece count.

VERIFIED REPAIR

Apply the overweight surcharge to every bag over 23 kg.

Unsuccessful approach: Exempting elite travellers from the weight surcharge is not in the rule.

Case contract

Input {'bags':[kg in check-in order],'allowance','elite'}. Any bag over 32 kg -> 'ERR_OVERWEIGHT_<i>' (first, zero-based). Free bags = allowance + 1 if elite, applied to the first bags. Base fee by overall bag position: 1st 30, 2nd 40, 3rd and later 150 (only for bags beyond the free count). Each bag over 23 kg adds 100, free or not. Return total.

Why this case matters

Baggage rules in fare families combine piece allowances, status benefits, position-based piece charges and weight surcharges.

Verification & scope

A stipulated toy fare-rule contract with invented constants; it is not an ATPCO or carrier tariff implementation and makes no claim of industry-standard conformance. This reproducer isolates one failure mechanism. Results cover the supplied fixtures. Variants within a family share a test contract and should remain grouped when constructing evaluation splits. Related mechanisms with a shared evaluation_group must also remain together; these controlled models are not independent production incidents.
