They will likely give you a "discount" of some sort. Also - find out from your airline what is the airline policy for the penalty. For northwest, the penalty is actually not that bad (I recall it being just $25 for an extra 70lbs or something like that). If they try to charge you more, confront them with this information... also - ask for a reciept of the charge if you feel they are inflating the penalty. hope this helps.</p> just a suggestion if (when) the manila airport workers try to stick it to you for the overweight luggage: act irrate (ofcourse, you may not have to act much), insist on haggling down the price.
