In Reply to: Excess luggage posted by noddy_star on Wednesday, 31. August 2005 at 10:11 Bali Time:
I flew 2 different airlines last year to get back to Australia and both airlines were fine with me taking on 2 overweight bags and 2 bags as carry on. I think it depends on the situation as well, as I had been travelling for a long time. I thought I was going to have to pay excess and was prepared to do that. When I got to the check in counter of the first airline (which I was flying domestic) the lady was more interested in Australia then my baggage and the other airline didn't really care and asked no questions about my heavy luggage. I just had the funny "heavy, bend at knees" sticker on my bag which I found funny as well, especially as when I bent at knees I almost toppled over picking it up.
