Thank you "fromthe heart" for your post. I would have let the matter rest but for your information. I rang AP this morning and confronted them with your information. The girl put me on hold and went to see her supervisor, she came back with the expanation that they did have a crackdown because people we carrying on too much. She assured me that 7kg of carry-on and a Handbag/camera bag/ nappybag/duty free would be allowed from the Bali end.
Let us hope that their information is correct.
