elle_meg,

It's the airline that charges, not the airport and it depends who you are flying with. Assuming Onur Air, it's £12 per kg the last I heard.

How good is your Turkish Karen :) Could you maybe contact Onur to see if you could add extra luggage allowance direct prior to travel.

elle_meg,

£12 per kg is the norm for excess baggage with charter airlines. It's normally cheaper to pre-book excess baggage, £5-6 per kg normally in 5kg's. Some scheduled airlines charge as much as £35 per kg for excess baggage at check-in.

Hi,
When we flew with Aegean in May we were nearly 3 kilos overweight over 2 pieces of luggage (our scales were a bit out) but the lady on check-in at Manchester kindly waited while we swapped a bit over to hand luggage, then charged us £10 total for the 2 kilos still over.
