Kilo on the 1st May. I was 6 kilos over weight and they wouldn't budge on the price. Then the check-in staff said that if I took my bags to one of the small shops and purchased a bag/s and took out 6 kilos from my check-in bag and took it on as carry-on luggage then there would be no charge.
I already had my Computer/office bag plus another carry-one bag. It did strike me as strange though, the extra weight was still going on the same plane
I finally got on the plane carrying two extra bags. I'm not complaining though, I did the wrong thing by being overweight in the first place and I was grateful not to be charged. I will be more careful next time, although when I packed it didn't seem as heavy as it turned out to be.
