You can have more than 1 suitcase. When we came back with AA in August we had 4 cases between 3 of us. We had to pay 45,000rp per kg for overweight (12kg between 3 of us). The woman next to us had crammed 1 case chokkas and it weighed over 40kg. They gave her 2 options - take stuff out to get it under 30kg? (she didn't have anything else to put the stuff in) or she could repay the full 40kg and they would let her through. So even though she had prepaid the 25kg allowance she had to pay it again to be allowed to take her stuff home. You can just put the extra stuff into a soft bag (and have it wrapped)if you don't want an extra case. If you are in a group - you can have all your cases weighed together and then you have more chance of getting away with excess.
Happy holiday. I have 6 sleeps before we head off again. YIPPEE!
