How This Works
Excess baggage fee = overweight kg × airline's per-kg charge. Ryanair, easyJet and Wizz Air are strict on cabin bag dimensions and weight — bags are measured at the gate. British Airways and Jet2 are more lenient on minor overweight at check-in. Fees shown are approximate airport rates — pre-booking allowance online is significantly cheaper.
Options: (1) Move heavy items into hand luggage if you have the allowance. (2) Wear bulky items (coats, heavy boots, jeans) onto the plane. (3) Pay the excess fee (expensive). (4) Abandon non-essential items or leave them at the airport lost property (some airports have donation points). (5) Ship items via courier before your trip if you know you'll be overweight — often cheaper than excess fees for heavy packages.
