Ha ha ha!

Our flights were great. we had no hiccups at all. We even had over the baggage allowance., we were over by 2 `pieces of luggage`. the check in desk at heathrow tried to get the baggage on for free as we were emigrating but we ended up having to pay.

Dont live your life by `what if`s?`!!!!! You could have hassles anyway you fly!

any help past experiences cos were gonna be living out of suitcases for 3 months before we fly - 20 kgs is unthinkable to my glamour puss wife

30 quid per kg excess charge so my surf gear goes into storage so im kinda in cold turkey at the moment

Now the airlines charge per item NOT per kilo. At least they did in 2005 from LHR when I left! As long as your `item` is not over the weight allowance then its ok. We had 2 bags each at 32kg per bag. (allowance of 64kg per person) PLUS we had another bag each, We were charged 150pounds per bag NOT per kilo.
Worth checking up on it before you have a coronary!
