it's about penalties for large luggage
"alléger" is to lighten something by taking some parts off. His luggage is too heavy so he's getting a penalty, hence the inspector "helps him" by relieving him by 50 bucks

[arctic ember]

so... he has to pay less for his luggage to be accepted?

ngl, i didn't understand that much lol

why is he relieving him by 50 bucks

[dapper mortar]

no, he's getting 50 removed from his wallet, not from his ticket

[round void]

He's taking the guy's physical money. So he's lighter in weight

[arctic ember]

ohhhh 💀

cuz after the guard take 50 more bucks, the guy is technically lighter

okay, i see lmao

thank you both 🙏
