restrictions are now hitting everyone, even silver garuda frequent flyers. Previously we were allowed an extra 10 kigs but as of Feb 2008 this has also been lowered to 5 kgs. As others have mentioned you could get an extra 10kgs for donations if requested in writing but this was changed earlier in the year. A friend was overweight in November because she had to take cartons of a special milk for her young daughter but she still had to pay the excess. Go figure. Perhaps Garuda are tired of requests, as it seems now that nearly every passenger is requesting an excess allowance for "donations", myself included. I was told I already had been given an allowance, eg silver flyer.
