It sometime s depends on who is on the check in desk. At Christmas we got away with about 8 kilos of overweight but got stung on the way back. We have also managed to get on a flight despite being twenty minutes late for check in. The flight was 15 mins late as well. More flexibility at the smaller airports I think.

It is confusing as Easyjet and Ryanair have different policies - Ryan Air will allow upto 15KG of checked in luggage (you have to pay for this of course) and upto 10KG hand luggage in 1 bag per passenger and as has been mentioned these allowances can not be spread across a group.

Easyjet do not have a weight limit on hand luggage as long as it fits in the overhead locker and you can lift it - its OK with them.

The problem with the hand luggage only route is the DfT's rules on liquids in aircraft - which i theory is now EU wide. - Info as follows:-

• All liquids must be in individual containers not greater than 100ml capacity
• All containers must be placed in one transparent re-sealable transparent bag, no larger than 20cm x 20cm 8" x 8" in size.
• The containers must fit comfortably inside the bag so it can be fastened closed.
• Only one bag per passenger is allowed.
• The bag must be clear and re-sealable, such as ‘ziplock’ bags or bags with pressable seals.
• Larger bags or bags that are non-sealable, such as fold-over sandwich bags are not allowed.
• Each passenger must remove their clear plastic bag from their hand baggage and place it in on the conveyor belt for X-ray screening.
• Liquids in containers of more than 100ml capacity can be packed in your checked in baggage.

So please, pretty please, check all that stuff in as I for one have spent too much time waiting behind groups of morons who want to argue that a 2Litre bottle of coke or whatever is somehow exempt from the above rules and that delaying the 200 people behind them is their right.

We used to take 8 litres of spirits in a carry on case before the liquid restriction.
