i had tried that a couple of times in indian low cost airlines… however for international flights, i doubt if it will work.. after all as one of my friend once said.. Indians look like shaved arab fanatics

British Airways seems to very much lenient in case of excess baggage policies. They will simply ask you to take care from the next time and allow it .

In fact they have some special promotional plans for students .

One more solution could be check in with some family(convincing them will be difficult ). As your bag will be tagged with your ticket no but checking in with them allows you excess baggage.
One of my fried it once when we were returning back home.

yups I am in france/europe till the Christmas :) let me know if i could get anything for you.

about airline manager.. well I was never that well connected, but I will definitely make a note of it.

about the high value notes.. yups 500 euro is like 35,000/- which is a lot of money for a small piece of paper.

about accounting for the total weight (passenger + luggage), i don’t think that is feasible.. esp since Americans and Australians are inherently bulky and asians (esp orientals) which many dislike are traditionally of lighter weight… so no matter how logical the arguments sound.. no airline can take a lead in alienating their customers.

good tips.. have known and used many of ur ideas before.
one more tip if u know anyone working for that airline or the airport manager it helps immensely.

on big value notes .. people there are scared of forgeries… my sis has told me not to exchange to over 50 euros notes as most people would sceptically accept them. Also the euro unlike the rupee is held as a currency of value, and the ecb unlike the rbi, doesnt like debasing its currency

I think it is high time they weigh u with the luggage as a total package , as most people that are overweight have an inherent advantage.

I think the airline has bigger problems with volume of the baggage than the weight

Another method to marginally increase the weight of cabin luggage without it looking big!
