I have always found Garuda to have a bit of leeway but caught a flight from Perth last week which was half empty... So there goes that theory!! And they wanted to charge us for being 4kg over!!! My husbands tripod weighs 6kg but thanks to 9/11 we can't take that as hand luggage so it was a bit of a nightmare to get 4kg into hand luggage that was already weighty due to camera and laptop but we did it and wasn't going to give 500g... Also toiletries would have been easy to take out but you cant do that now either!!! We are usually under on way over but I had a pile of stuff for gifts!! Gonna post clothes home!!!
