In Reply to: When is excess baggage charged? posted by JellyB on Friday, 3. June 2005 at 14:30 Bali Time:
It is determined when you check-in your luggage and it is weighed. If you are going to be charged excess then they give you a slip of paper with the details and you go to another window to pay the excess (if they are going to charge you they don't usually charge you for the whole amount - if say 10kg over then often only make you pay for 5kg). You then take your receipt and your baggage back to the check-in counter.
