This was the case when I went that way, but may of course have changed.
Flying the more usual way, I agree with The Johnstons.

I do remember that I had to drag my cases, as I couldn't actually lift them, and all the little wheels broke off !!

malaysian airways were great at heathrow and let us on but told us it was too heavy (they let us thro cos the heathrow plane was not full) and we'd never get it all out of hong kong airport(on the way to brisbane) so we left a whole case of gear at the hong kong hotel - like we needed coats, jumpers, extra blankets - tch! best to check the weights before you pack i reckon!
(...downtown hong kong... there's a wicked little car boot sale going on with some designer jumpers and coats)

They do say only one piece of cabin baggage each but we got away with a little more
Singapore Air were brilliant with us. We tried and tried to stay with the 20kg each and thought we had. Everything went ok at Heathrow. It wasn't until we were in the hotel in Singapore that we saw they had written the real weight down on the slip - 97kg. We panicked slightly on leaving Singapore but again nothing said. Must have been because we were on one way tickets. I was the only one of the family with a visa.
