Example 2
Milan Milanović purchased online electronic ticket from
low-cost airline company "Serbian Air" on the line
Belgrade - Frankfurt. At the airport, when you lift tickets,
clerk refuses to issue a ticket to Milanović which he
already purchased and refers him to a refund, because
the internal regulations of the airline company is that a
person which has more than 120 kg in weight must
purchase two airline tickets so as not to "disturb" the
other passengers because the seats on the plane is
relatively small. According to "assessment“ of the clerk,
Milanović's weight was "higher" than allowed.
