No matter which airline, if you have excess baggage you can expect to pay. It does seem to be some sort of a Bali mind-set and I've actually seen the term "fined" for excess baggage used on this forum. It is NOT a "fine" it is a legitimate charge by all airlines incuding Garuda. Although invariably having been over my allowance I've had to pay excess from Bali only once out of something like seven or eight trips. At no time at all has the question of slipping anyone money as a "bribe" been raised. I guess I've been lucky!
