Just back yesterday with Australian Airlines. Everyone travelling with them please whatch your baggage allowance. They had a no tollerance policy with everyone on our flight over 25kgs. Did everything to try and get out of it and they still wouldn't budge. At $11.00 US per kg it ended up being an expensive shopping trip. (I was 29kgs over). A lot of people on the flight had to pay. Will remember next time, but wouldn't have changed anything for this trip if had to do it again.
Cheers
Renee
