I recently used OLCI and printed boarding passes out for return same day flights from Brisbane to Sydney.
When I arrived at Brisbane airport I went to drop my bag off and was told that I would have to hand over the return boarding pass as I wasn't allowed to print a boarding pass for the return flight if I had baggage.
That was fine I handed over the boarding pass. Thinking about it later I wondered what would be the reason for the rule.
I don't see how it could be a security issue, if I wanted to bring a bag back with me I would still have to drop it at the baggage drop and show them my boarding pass and if I didn't have a bag on the return trip why would it matter that I had printed the boarding pass?
Just curious if anyone had any ideas as to why this rule existed.
