same for me as well, I got stung for £500 for excess luggage month or so back when bringing back marketing materials which to be fair out us way over the weight limit
well my experience over the last 3 decades is different, it's changed a lot, particularly in the last 5 or 6 years with regards to these rules are implemented. I dunno, I am on a plane at least twice a month and that is my personal experience.
which local limits are these then?; The days of flexibility and smalll charges have long gone. THAI might still be a bit more lax, but the rest operating are hot on weight limits.
These 15kg limits have become more common place, because people often travel with 20-25kg sonits opened up a new way of gaining more revenue.
Simple way of avoiding it, check your ticket conditions before flying .
