That wouldn't work now. A 90lb package would be overweight and

I frequently fly with Czech Airlines between New York and Prague -
three to four times a year. The maximum weight of each of two allowed
checked-in luggages is 32 kg (70 lbs) and as a Frequent Flyer I am
entitled to 10 kg excess, i.e. one luggage of up to 42 kg (93 lbs). I
have checked 90+ lbs boxes several times and they even got "Priority
Handling" status due to my Frequent Flyer status. On one totally full
flight my large box filled with junque arrived while some other
people's bags did not.
