Your best bet is to just give the airline a call. they should be able to tell you how much you would have to pay per kilo if you are over.
All airlines have a limit as to how much the aircraft can weigh. This is not restricted just to baggage either. They actually allow an approximate weight for each passenger travelling. Usually about 80 kilos per person. It all evens out as some are lighter, some heavier. Everything goes into consideration..even the meals.
In some cases...where the aircraft is too heavy, thats when bags start getting off loaded.
No point having an aircraft that cant get off the runway! :)
Put your mind at rest and just call your airline...at least then you can allow money wise if you think your bags are going to be too heavy.
Goodluck.
