RYANAIR has (quietly) reduced the baggage allowance on luggage to 15kg from the IATA standard of 20kg per passenger and is being very active in ensuring that passengers pay for any overweight suitcases. Ryanair charge ”4 per kilo which for a typical 25kg heavyweight piece of luggage means an additional charge of ”80 for a return trip. Most full service carriers are reasonably flexible with luggage of this weight and will not actually charge. http://www.ryanair.com
