.. with roughly 80 flights last year in and around Asia and Oz, never once was I charged for excess without at least the airline saying something like 'okay you have 8 kg over, we'll charge you for 4' etc. Often they never even queried anything up to 6 to 7 kg. In fact going back to oz from Bali people can be up to double the weight and few eyebrows are even raised.
Never was one flight/airline concerned over so few kg over - NOT once except Jetstar - it is that simple.
And don't go on with the line that 'you knew the rules, your problem'
